The wine

This wine is a Pinot Noir which has taken full advantage of the fresh northerly climate of this North Italian region. The result is captivatingly elegant and refined. It features an aromatic complexity consisting of red berries, sweet spices and minerals. The palate is full bodied and juicy.

The Hofstatter domaine, created in 1907 by Josef Hofstätter, spans 50 hectares, making it one of the largest vineyards in the region. The vines are located at between 250 and 800 metres above sea level, which means that several different grape varieties can be cultivated: Gewürztraminer, Pinot blanc and Pinot Noir, Lagrein, and Schiava. Fourth-generation owner Martin Foradori Hofstätter is now at the helm of the domaine. He produces fine cuvées, notably his Pinots Noirs, which are among the best in Italy.
