Gumphof Praesulis Pinot Nero 2021

With slopes at an incline of 50 to 55% and at an elevation of 500 meters asl, this qualifies as extreme winemaking. Cultivating Pinot Noir makes great sense in the cooler climate of the southern Valle Isarco. The soils are full of chalk, quartz and porphyry. After fermentation, this was aged for a year in barrique. The result is a vibrant red wine of elegance.Smooth and velvety with notes of black cherry, dark chocolate, balsamic, and leather, this can most definitely hang tough with the French and American big shots of Pinot.
