Territory and wine style

The grapes come from Appiano Monte, at an altitude of 500-550 meters, from east-facing vineyards cultivated on clayey and limestone soils at the foot of the Mendola massif. The presence of dolomitic components and red clay helps define a tense, mineral, and deeply territorial profile. Pinot Nero VOM KALK 2020 is born from a mass selection originally from the Côte d’Or and follows a careful production process, with manual harvesting, fermentation in oak vats, and aging in barriques on fine lees. The result is a Alto Adige DOC of great balance, supported by freshness, aromatic precision, and an elegant texture.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents with the typical color of Pinot Nero, bright and not too deep, an expression of finesse rather than power. On the nose, delicate and complex aromas emerge, with hints of small red fruits, floral nuances, and spicy and earthy notes, accompanied by a subtle mineral imprint. On the palate, it is dry, harmonious, and well-defined, with lively acidity, medium body, and present but measured tannins. The aging imparts roundness and depth, while the finish is long, clean, and consistent with the wine's elegant style.

Recommended pairings

This Pinot Nero Alto Adige DOC pairs with great versatility with refined dishes and harmoniously flavored ingredients. It is perfect with roasted white meats, guinea fowl, duck, porcini mushrooms, flavorful risottos, and veal-based preparations. Excellent also with salmon, tuna in delicate cooking, and medium-aged cheeses. Its freshness and balanced tannic structure make it interesting even with local cuisine dishes, especially when served with soft sauces or slightly spicy notes.

Serving temperature

The Pinot Nero VOM KALK 2020 performs best when served at a temperature of 16-18°C. If the bottle has been stored in a cool environment, it may be helpful to open it a short while in advance to allow the wine to express its aromas fully. A decanter is generally not necessary, except for immediate service in the case of very young or just uncorked wine.
