Pinot Noir Riserva Vigna Kofl

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.
