Elegant and with great personality, Pinot Noir Ludwig Barth von Barthenau Vigna Roccolo 2017 is a wine from South Tyrol that precisely tells the character of a prestigious cru from the Mazon area.

Hofstätter, it is made from hand-selected Pinot Noir grapes and comes from a historic vineyard, an authentic expression of the Vigna designation, reserved in South Tyrol for wines coming from a specific plot of land.

Territory and wine style

The Vigna Roccolo is located in the heart of Mazon, an area particularly suited for Pinot Noir, where the connection between territory and grape variety plays a decisive role in the final style of the wine. The soils, composed of clay conglomerate, lime, porphyry, and fine gravel, contribute to providing balance, depth, and aromatic definition. The vines, some of which are very old, help express concentration and finesse, while aging in French oak and subsequent bottle resting enrich the profile with complexity and harmony.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it shows an intense and dark color, unusual for certain more immediate Pinot Noirs, and anticipates a rich and concentrated matter. On the nose, aromas of cherry and red blueberry emerge, accompanied by a delicate vanilla note and well-integrated oak sensations. The palate is elegant, supported by a fine acidity that gives lift and freshness, while the velvety tannins accompany a precise and harmonious flavor profile. The finish is long, persistent, and consistent with its refined style.
