Vinification of the Maglen Pinot Noir Riserva DOC

The journey of the Maglen Pinot Noir Riserva DOC begins in the meticulously cultivated vineyards of Trentino-South Tyrol, specifically in the renowned Alto Adige / South Tyrol DOC subregion. There, the Pinot Noir grapes grow on sparse, well-drained soils that provide optimal conditions for slow and even ripening. The cool climate of this location ensures a perfect balance between sugar and acidity.

The grapes are harvested exclusively by hand to select only the ripest and finest berries. After delivery to the Tramin winery, the grapes are gently destemmed and carefully pressed. Fermentation on the skins takes place at controlled temperatures to preserve the fine, natural aromas of the Pinot Noir. During this phase, the color and extraction of tannins are developed, giving the wine its dense structure.

Afterwards, the Maglen Pinot Noir Riserva DOC matures for at least 18 months in high-quality oak barrels. This aging process gives the wine depth and complexity while preserving its freshness. Storage on the fine lees supports the development of delicate nuances such as licorice, vanilla, and spicy notes. After bottling, the wine rests for several more months before being released for sale, allowing the aromas to blend harmoniously and the bouquet to fully develop.
