"The 2019 Blauburgunder Pinot Nero from Kellerei Bozen is incredibly pretty in the glass, displaying a brilliant translucent ruby color. It’s fresh and floral, showing peppery herbs, giving way to bright cherry-berry fruits with a hint of youthful reduction. The textures here are quite pleasant, silky yet with a balancing blend of saline-minerals and tart acids that add a tactile feel. Spicy red berry fruits resonate through the close, along with a hint of fine tannin that promises a few years of positive evolution." Vinous

It shows remarkable depth in its fleshy textures, along with pure red berry fruit and sweet spice, all offset by a mix of minerals and youthful tannin.

"The Les Crêtes 2019 Valle d'Aosta Pinot Nero is a vibrant and expressive wine that shows an extra sleek and slender side of this delicate grape. As it warms in the glass, the wine reveals forest cherry fruit, blue flowers and lots of honey. (I am reminded of chestnut honey or one of the darker, viscous kinds.) The effect is beautiful, and the wine replays that palate silkiness to be enjoyed by the hearth with an easy side of speck, local cheese and honey." Robert Parker

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

"Closed in a screwcap bottle, the Jermann 2017 Pinot Nero Red Angel on the Moonlight shows a slimmed-down and elegant physique but leaves a lasting impression, especially in terms of the purity and punchy intensity of its aromas.

This is a wine for Pinot fans as well as lovers of profound, sublime style - and definitely love at second sight. SUPERIORE.DE
