Pinzon. A location that has long been considered by connoisseurs to be synonymous with South Tyrolean Pinot Noir of the highest calibre. The small wine village on the eastern side of the Adige Valley, first mentioned in a document in 1230, lies in the middle of the vineyards along the Pinot Noir Trail, which are among the best Pinot Noir terroirs in Italy. Here, at an altitude of around 550 metres in the municipality of Montan, Peter Zemmer cultivates his vines on porphyry soils with dolomite-carbonate rock deposits – a geological combination that gives the wine its characteristic minerality. The microclimate of the site is characterised by the altitude above the Adige valley and the north-western exposure, which gives the vineyards long periods of evening sunshine. The "Ora", the famous valley wind that rises from Lake Garda through the Adige Valley, ventilates the vines in the afternoon hours and regulates the humidity – ideal conditions for the demanding Burgundy variety.

Intense, brilliant ruby red colour in the glass. The nose reveals a fine, fresh bouquet of red berries and strawberries, accentuated by black pepper and cinnamon. Elegant and seductive on the palate, with pleasant complexity, impressive structure and a long final. A Pinot Noir with a classic South Tyrolean character that combines finesse and depth. SUPERIORE.DE
