On the Monte di Mezzo, not far from Bolzano and Lake Kaltern in Cornaiano, formerly called Girlan, stands the Girlan winery. It was founded in 1923 by 23 winegrowers and today has as many as 200 members spread over a vineyard growing area of 220 hectares, in the best production areas of Oltradige and Bassa Atesina at altitudes ranging from 450 to 500 meters between San Michele and the Plain of'Adige . 1980 the Girlan Winery increasingly focused on the Pinot Noir grape variety and first launched the Trattmannhof Mazon Pinot Noir. In '75 pioneer Hartmuth Spitaler recognizes the unique potential of the Gschleier subzone and produces a Vernatsch exclusively from this subzone for the first time. In addition, a close collaboration is established with the'artist Paul Flora regarding label design. Girlan's philosophy is on the one hand to revalue the ancient South Tyrolean grape varieties (Vernatsch, Pinot Blanc and Pinot Noir) and on the other hand to create wines with character from international grape varieties (Chardonnay and Sauvignon), while still tying them to the terroir. All this while respecting the times dictated by nature, with sustainable farmingThe wines are among the most awarded in the region and available in more than 30 states.
Description
Patricia Pinot Noir is part of the "Vineyards" line because it is made from selected grapes from the best production areas. The grapes for this wine come from our 3 subzones of Pinot Noir: "Girlan," "Mazon," and "Pinzon" between 380 and 550 meters above sea level. With a particularly pronounced character and aroma, these wines show fresh and fruity traits, distinguished by elegant acidity combined with an appealing temperament and harmonious body.
Organoleptic characteristics:
Ruby red, intense aroma with notes of cherry, morello cherry and raspberry.
The sip has lots of freshness and a juicy finish, velvety texture, with a soft spice finish of vanilla and licorice.
