Pinot Nero Ludwig 2021<br />Alto Adige DOC<br />The long history of the Pinot Nero in Alto Adige has accompanied the development of the wine region.<br />Elena Walch's Pinot Nero 'Ludwig' was created with the 2001 vintage, from grapes of old vines, some of<br />which were even planted as Pergola. The small production of 10,000 bottles indicates the strict selection of<br />the plots to produce a classic, complex Pinot Nero of the highest quality. The many national and<br />international awards for Pinot Nero 'Ludwig', including the highest award of the 12th and 19th Italian Pinot<br />Nero Competition in 2013 and 2020, confirm the winemaker's great commitment to this noble grape variety.<br />The Pinot Noir Ludwig presents itself with a full ruby red color and with elegant concentration and<br />complexity. Fresh fruit notes of heart cherries and redcurrants as well as the spicy hint of pepper and elegant<br />roasted notes characterize the bouquet. On the palate, the wine unfolds its full power and elegance with gripping<br />tannins, a filigree structure and harmonious interplay between subtle spice and elegant freshness - with inviting<br />length and great aging potential<br />VINTAGE 2021<br />We are excited about a qualitatively excellent vintage, especially for our white wines! A dry and<br />cool spring led to a late flowering of the vines and was followed by a warm and dry June. After<br />an irregular midsummer, a surprising change in the weather followed in mid-August, which<br />brought dream weather until the end of September and the very best conditions for achieving<br />an optimal maturity of the grapes. The harvest began in mid-September, about 10 days later<br />than last year. With blue skies and lots of sunshine, midsummer daytime temperatures and<br />autumnally cool nights, the grapes were able to achieve ideal sugar levels while maintaining very<br />good acidity. Accordingly, the 2021 wines show great quality!<br />VINIFICATION<br />Traditional fermentation, partially in large Slovenia<br />oak vats, partially in stainless steel tanks. Malolactic<br />fermentation follows and, the final wine matures in<br />French oak barrels for another 12 months. Since<br />2015, a state-of-the-art fermentation cellar has<br />allowed the grapes to be processed with the utmost<br />care, with whole-grape processing using via gravity<br />fed technology. A highly sensitive destemmer and the<br />gentle transport of the grapes by means of a<br />specialized container, cuvon, which runs on rails, prove to be very gentle on the grapes and<br />preserve their high quality. The State-of-the-Art building is certainly unique in Alto Adige, and<br />is probably one of the most modern fermentation cellars in Italy to produce great red wines of<br />excellence.<br />Alcohol: 13.50% vol.<br />Total acidity: 5,7 g/L<br />Residual sugar: 1,9 g/L<br />Grape variety: 100% Pinot Noir<br />

<br />South Tyrol DOC<br />Pinot Noir Riserva<br />Sanct Valentin<br /><br />Pinot Noir has been cultivated in South Tyrol since 1850 and is also known in many places as Pinot Noir. It is the winery's most important red wine. This grape variety is a<br />very special challenge for the winemaker, as it is very demanding in terms of soil and climate, and must also be processed with special care in the cellar. For the Pinot Noir<br />Sanct Valentin, which has been part of the prestige line since 1995, only grapes from the best vineyards and oldest vines are used. Extremely low yields and the greatest<br />care produce an elegant and highly sensual wine, characterised by structure, balance and fine tannins.<br /><br />Eye: ruby red<br />Nose: small red berries, strawberry, violet, smoky notes, cinnamon.<br />Taste: spicy, smooth, elegant and seductive<br />Variety description: Pinot noir<br />Growing site: older vineyards in St. Michael-Eppan and surroundings (400-550 m)<br />Exposure: south-southeast to south-southwest<br />Soils: moraine rubble and limestone gravel soils<br />Method of cultivation: Guyot <br />Vine age: 8 to 26 years<br />Harvest: mid-September; harvest and grape selection by hand.<br />Vinification: Cold maceration (three days) followed by fermentation and soft pressing.

Already on April 10, on the sunny sites<br />around the monastery, we saw the first shoots. Thanks to mild spring weather, there were<br />no problems with frost. During the summer the conditions were good as well, with normal<br />temperatures and average rainfall. There were no extreme weather event and so harvest<br />started about 10 days early on September 14th. Unfortunately, the autumn was a little bit<br />rainy and therefore the diurnal temperature shift was less extreme than usual. In order to<br />get healthy grapes, the harvest dates were brought forward and so harvest was already<br />completed by mid-October.<br />The wines of the 2020 vintage are delicate, fresh and fruity with moderate alcohol and an<br />appealing acidity. Similar to the 2019 vintage.<br />
