Pinot Nero

Delicate salmon pink. Fine, delicate bouquet with notes of pomegranate, peach and apricot. Full and rich on the palate with a delicate bitter note and an invigorating freshness on the finish. This rosato is full of character and anything but arbitrary, and for us it is the perfect wine for a Mediterranean lunch on a balmy summer day. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright old pink. On the palate with delicate wild berry fruit and a hint of spice, reminiscent of Amarena cherries in the finish. On the palate with fine melting and blueberry core, well-integrated acidity, in the aftertaste delicately bitter and melting." Falstaff

Delightful Pinot Noir with an intensely bright ruby red colour and a fruity, berry bouquet with a delicate bitter almond tone. The full-bodied taste is very harmonious and the finely woven acidity and tannin structure provide irresistible elegance and breed. SUPERIORE.DE

The evening fall winds of the Mendel Mountains give the entire terroir of the St. Michael-Eppan Winery its characteristics. They ensure cool nights, they give the grapes those extraordinary qualities that are characteristic for the aroma, the unmistakable freshness and the longevity of the wines. The fall wind is the natural force that blows over the vineyard every day, positively influencing the climate and supporting the valuable work of the cooperative winery's winegrowers.

The Fallwind wines are ambassadors of their terroir and reflect the strengths of the growing region in a unique way. Most of them are selected sites where viticulture has been practised for centuries. Strict quality guidelines, low yields, intensive manual work in the vineyard as well as gentle and individual maturation in the cellar make them what they are: Wines full of character, precise and unique, which convince every connoisseur with their varietal characteristics.

The Rosé of San Michele Appiano is a single-varietal Pinot Noir from selected vineyards with a predominantly southern exposure around the municipality of Eppan.

The grapes for this Pinot Noir come from three sites at an altitude of up to 980 metres.

"This is a true expression of this delicately fragrant grape with a slightly more robust center of gravity. The Tiefenbrunner 2019 Alto Adige Pinot Noir Turmhof (closed in a screw-cap bottle) offers a good amount of fruit intensity that comes across with extra layers of fragrant cherry, potting soil, pressed rose and dried apricot. The wine reveals a dark ruby color with a dense appearance, and that extra concentration is felt across the supple texture and soft fruit weight offered in this classic vintage, best enjoyed with a hearty liver and onions to keep things healthy." Robert Parker

"The 2020 Pinot Nero is such a pretty and finessed varietal expression that mixes alpine herbs with wild strawberries and crushed rocks. It’s elegant with silky textures that usher in masses of lavender-tinged black cherries and spices, as juicy acidity maintains fantastic balance. The 2020 leaves a coating of fruit concentration along with sweet tannins that add a gentle grip, promising a steady evolution. That said, there is no harm in drinking this today." Vinous

The name "Mimuèt" (to my taste) comes from Ladin. Convinced that South Tyrol offers the best conditions for the Pinot Noir grape variety, Alois Lageder paid particular attention to it at a very early stage.

On the palate, elegant, almost light on its feet, with a multi-layered, soft finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"Rich radiant garnet red with a ruby core. Delicately scented of strawberry compote, walnut and dark chocolate. Shows amazing weight on the palate, mouth-filling texture, slightly warming with grippy tannin structure, juicy, pronounced finish." Falstaff

Bright ruby red colour and the typical vinous, slightly grassy bouquet of the Pinot Noir. The taste is elegant and refined, pleasantly full-bodied and balanced. SUPERIORE.DE

Pinot Nero Riserva with feminine scent of sweet fruits, flowers, minerals and spices, slender and delicate on the palate, with great balance. Pinot Noir is a diva with high demands on soil and climate and requires a lot of attention in the cellar. For Riserva quality, the vine must be at least ten years old and thrive in an excellent location. The Riserva from St. Michael-Eppan must not shy away from international price-quality comparisons. SUPERIORE.DE

"Pretty cherry, raspberry, redcurrant, rose, slate and dried lemon on the nose. Elegant and fine with a medium body and tangy acidity. Mineral and precise." James Suckling
