Pinot Noir Riserva Vigna Kofl
€46.00
This Pinot Noir Riserva flourishes at the remarkable altitude of 1.030
meters above sea level (3.380 ft.) in the immediate vicinity of the farm Koflhof in
Aldino, in the lowlands of Alto Adige. The perfect southern position of the vineyard
on porphyry soil flanked by dolomitic carbonate minerals, the ideal solar radiation
as well as the daily wind “Ora” from the south guarantee the optimal ripening
conditions of the berries. These factors ensure the creation of wines year after
year, combining elegance and harmony.
Yield per hectare: 35 hl.
Vinification: The stems are immediately removed and the grapes are fermented
at a constant temperature of 26 – 28 °C (79 – 82 °F) for about 7 days. The must is
kept in contact with the skins through circulation pumping and gentle pressure
from below. We thus achieve ideal results with the coloring from the skins and
emphasize the fruitiness of the wine. After two gentle rackings, this Pinot Noir
Riserva is aged over 12 months in casks of French oak (barriques) and another 6
months in stainless steel tanks. After blending, the wine is bottled and then aged
an additional 6 months in the bottle before it goes on sale.
