Pinot Nero Riserva 'Puntay' Erste+Neue 2022

The “Puntay” is a Reserve of Pinot Nero with good structure, featuring a pleasant persistence in the aftertaste. The aromas on the nose are those typical of the varietal used, structured around hints of small red fruits and vanilla. Erste+Neue, a cooperative reality that manages to combine tradition and modernity, tells with this bottle the enthusiasm that drives its members to create quality products, which are favored by many enthusiasts who appreciate mountain viticulture. A label that can have a nice evolution in the future, presenting itself capable of aging in the bottle for more than five years, always maintaining a nice coherence between fruit and tertiary hints.

The Erste+Neue “Puntay” Reserve is made from pure Pinot Nero grapes, an international red grape variety that adapts well within the regional borders of Alto Adige. The winery cultivates it using the guyot system in rather clayey and sandy soils, influenced by a typical alpine temperate climate. The must ferments in stainless steel containers inox, macerating for a long period on the skins. It then undergoes the final aging, during which it rests for 15 months in large barrels and barriques, until it is ready to be bottled.

The Pinot Nero Riserva “Puntay” presents itself visually with a color reminiscent of ruby, crossed by slight reflections tending towards garnet. The olfactory spectrum moves around touches of cherry, while in the finish sensations reminiscent of sweet spices emerge. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, characterized by a fresh sip, which presents an excellent persistence. A red signed by the Erste+Neue winery that aims high, telling in a simple and direct manner the Alto Adige territory.
