Pinot Noir Grappa. Pinot Noir, also known as Pinot Noir or Pinot Nero depending on the region, is one of the most important noble grape varieties and a classic red wine of cooler wine-growing regions. In Italy, for example, the majority of the area under cultivation is in the northern zones - such as South Tyrol, where this bright ruby-red wine has been cultivated for over 150 years. Its juicy fruit aromas and dense structure also give Grappa Pinot Noir a special, complex richness. This single-varietal speciality is distilled from pomace from small vineyards, such as the Eppan Stroblhof. This estate is known for its Pinot Noir Pigeno with its fine sour cherry bouquet and the special Riserva, which is only vinified in above-average vintages. Selected, healthy and fully ripe grapes from the best sites and old vine stocks guarantee an elegant Pinot Noir with balanced tannins and fine aromas, qualities that the master distiller from Plunhof also knows how to bring to life again in the grappa. On the nose, the Pinot Noir Grappa unfolds aromas of fully ripe cherries, wild berries and a hint of bitter almond. On the palate, the distillate is powerful with very present tannins that combine with soft, lightly fruity notes on the finish.
