Glen

Alto Adige Pinot Nero Riserva DOC ²⁰¹⁷

About this wine

Pinot noir is the only grape variety which is not grown in Kurtatsch. Pinot noir needs cool locations with low sun intensity, which it finds on the opposite side of the valley.

The sites MAZON and GLEN are the best-known Pinot noir locations in Italy. The higher location of GLEN is characterized by great swings in temperature between day and night. Our Riserva GLEN is fine and fresh in the nose, with hollyhock-like sweetness. On the palate it is velvety and extraordinarily elegant. Echoes of fresh raspberries and wild cherries give the discreet fruity sweetness a juicy and delicately spicy backbone.
GLEN: the elegant one.
