Territory and wine style

The vineyard is located in Graun above Cortaccia, at about 800 meters above sea level, on a south-facing slope with steep gradients. The soil, composed of limestone gravel with clay tongues, decisively contributes to the wine's balance, while the protection of the Mendola Coast limits the impact of cold northern winds. In this context, the Vom Lehm Pinot Noir Riserva 2020 Alto Adige DOC develops an elegant, mineral profile with beautiful aromatic intensity. Manual harvesting, fermentation in concrete, and aging in barrique for 18 months, followed by an additional 10 months in bottle, define a more complex and structured style without losing finesse.

On the palate, the wine shows a balance between freshness and structure, with an elegant, smooth sip that is simultaneously deeper due to the wood aging.
