PINOT NOIR Alto Adige Karal 2020 750ml CASTEL SALLEGG

The Pinot Noir comes from the historic Preyhof estate, located not far from Sallegg Castle above Kaltern. It is a Pinot Noir vineyard of rare excellence: slightly
cooler, with less intensive sunshine and ideal soil. Rich ruby red in colour, the Pinot Noir KARAL reveals notes of cherry, blueberry, and coffee. The interplay
continues on the palate, spiced with delicate roasted aromas. The balanced acidity and pronounced tannins reinforce the firm structure of the wine. The finish
is elegant, long and persistent.

Manual harvesting and selection of the grapes from the oldest vines at the Preyhof. After destemming (10% whole bunches), filling of the stainless steel tanks
by gravity. Cold maceration (5 days) followed by fermentation, gentle pressing, and malolactic fermentation. Ageing in barriques and tonneaux (20% new),
with subsequent blending after one year of ageing. Bottling and at least another 6 months of bottle ageing.
