Pinot Noir Falkestein 2020
£26.50
The aromatic spectrum of Pinot Noir by Falkenstein winery in Alto-Adige reminds of fruits of the forest and cherries, with gloriously fine tannins. Pinot Noir has compact grape clusters with small fruit. Following manual harvest in mid-September, the grapes are left in large oak fermentation vats for three to four weeks, during which time they are continuously mixed by hand. After this, the wine is transferred to French barrels of between 228 – 500 liters, where it remains for twelve months. Once bottled, the wine is left to age one more year in the bottle.

Today, family traditions of winemaking are carried forward by the founders and their two daughters Magdalena and Michaela.
