Pinot noir DOC 750ml Elena Walch 2023

VARIETY
100% Pinot Noir

VINIFICATION
Traditional temperature controlled fermentation for about 10 days in stainless steel tanks. Afterwards, malolactic fermentation and maturation take place partially in large oak
barrels of 22hl and stainless steel tanks.

TASTING NOTES
Our Pinot Nero Elena Walch shines in clear, fresh ruby red. A fruity play of aromas of red berries, cherries and raspberries as well as spicy notes with some white pepper
characterizes the bouquet. In the mouth, the wine convinces with juicy structure and inviting freshness, with soft, velvety tannins, discreet spices in the background and a
youthful, elegant finish.

TERROIR
A deliberate combination of vineyards in warmer locations around the 400m blended with material from altitudes of up to 600m. Limestone and porphyry soils in south-
eastern and south-western orientation. Severe selection employed.

VINTAGE 2023
We are delighted with an interesting 2023 vintage! Even though we have experienced a challenging growing season with alternating warm and cool periods with some rain,
we have had a fantastic harvest season with the best possible weather conditions for ripening. After a midsummery June and July, followed by high rainfall at the beginning of
August, the grapes were able to benefit and ripen for a long time from the optimal conditions with plenty of sunshine. Harvest began late in early September with ideal
weather conditions
which were only replaced by more unstable weather towards the end. Warm daytime temperatures and cool nights allowed the grapes to reach optimum ripeness with
balanced acidity levels and clear fruit, and good
structure.

FOOD PAIRING
The ideal companion to hearty starters, dishes based on beef or vanison and spicy cheeses.
