Pinot Noir Filari di Mazzon DOC 2018 Carlotto

The Pinot Noir Filari di Mazzon DOC 2018 by Carlotto interprets with great personality one of the most suitable territories in South Tyrol for this grape variety. It is an elegant and territorial red wine, capable of uniting aromatic finesse, sapidity, and a delicate yet present tannic structure. The Mazzon hill, with its favorable microclimate and limestone soils, offers the ideal conditions for a refined Pinot Noir, suitable for those seeking an expressive, precise, and pleasant Italian wine to drink.

Territory and wine style

The grapes come from vineyards located between 300 and 450 meters above sea level, in the Mazzon area, above the Adige valley and at the foot of the Monte Corno Natural Park. The territory, characterized by fluvio-glacial limestone soils, rich in skeleton and with a balanced clay component, contributes to giving the wine tension, momentum, and mineral identity. The Alto Adige DOC designation enhances a style of Pinot Noir that is fine, harmonious, and gastronomic, with a profile that emphasizes elegance over power. The management of the vineyards, between guyot and pergola, and the selection of historic parcels contribute to defining a wine with a strong artisanal and territorial imprint.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents the typical color of Pinot Noir, not too intense, bright, and transparent. On the nose, hints of red and dark fruit emerge, with notes of raspberry and cassis, accompanied by a sensation of sweet and ripe fruit. On the palate, the Pinot Noir Filari di Mazzon DOC 2018 shows good sapidity, a finely tannic structure, and a round, balanced, and smooth mouthfeel.

The finish is harmonious, with an elegant persistence and a character that combines freshness, finesse, and structure.
