Pinot Noir Agricola Mos 2023

The Pinot Noir from the Agricola MoS winery represents an interpretation of Burgundy's most famous black berry grape variety with a crisp, smooth tasting. We are in the Alpine context of Trentino, within the splendid terraced valley known as Val di Cembra, one of the most qualitatively important wine-growing areas in the region. Pinot Noir is one of MoS's latest wines, the result of a project launched in 2020 with the planting of a small vineyard on the terraced porphyry soils supported by dry stone walls that characterise the Val di Cembra. Here, cousins Luca Moser and Federico Ferretti are engaged in what is a true example of heroic viticulture, with mechanisation made impossible at times by the vertiginous slopes of the hills on which the vineyards grow.

Agricola MoS Pinot Noir is made from pure Pinot Noir grapes cultivated in accordance with organic farming methods, using only copper and sulphur for protection against phytopathogenic agents. In particular, the grapes come from a young, small vineyard, rooted on soil rich in porphyry and worked almost exclusively by hand. In the cellar, the grapes are vinified in red through spontaneous alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel tanks in contact with the skins, with subsequent maturation for about 6 months that takes place between steel and used barriques.
