Origin
Pinot Nero or Pinot Noir has internationally many different names. In Germany, this grape is known as Spätburgunder, for example, in France known as Pinot Noir and the one in Italy as Pinot Nero.
Vintage
The 2023 winegrowing year was characterized by changeable weather and the resulting increased work in the vineyard. A snow-deficient winter and a warm March accelerated the start of vegetation. A typical April and a rainy May led to flowering close to the long-term average. June was unstable, with heat waves and drought. July brought a lot of rain coupled with some very hot days. Despite extreme temperature fluctuations in August, a golden autumn brought us a successful grape harvest with very good grape qualities overall.
