This red from Peter Zemmer is a pure Pinot Noir made by a small artisanal winery in the area of Bassa Atesina. It is a historic estate that has been cultivating vines and producing wines in the hilly area near the village of Cortina for almost a century. The Pinot Noir vines are cultivated at an altitude of about 450 meters above sea level, on soils characterized by a calcareous-clay matrix. The sunny exposures, the cool and breezy climate, ensure an excellent ripening of the grapes with rich aromatic profiles. At the end of the harvest, vinification takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature, with a maceration on the skins of about a week. Before being bottled, the wine matures for several months in large French oak barrels and in barriques.
