Vinification of the PN Pinot Noir Riserva DOC from Pitzner

The grapes are grown in the best locations, where the mild climate and calcareous soils create optimal conditions for the Pinot Noir vine. Careful tending of the vines guarantees optimal ripeness. Harvesting is done by hand in several passes to select only the best fruit. During picking, the berries are strictly sorted to ensure the highest quality.

Vinification begins with a gentle destemming of the grapes, followed by a cool maceration during which the aromas are gently extracted. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve freshness and fruitiness. After fermentation, the wine matures for 18 months in French oak barriques, which give the wine its fine spice and velvety structure. Finally, further aging in the bottle follows to guarantee a harmonious interplay of fruit, wood, and minerality.
