Pònkler 2018

Tasting note

The altitude gives the wine an exceptionally ripe and expressive fruit. On the nose it is concentrated and profound, characterized by aromas of ripe red and black berries, accompanied by fine notes of star anise and leather. Spicy hints of cinchona unfold on the palate, supported by a lot of substance, a pronounced fullness and powerful, yet developable tannins. The long, persistent finish underlines the great aging potential of this wine.

Terroir

The Pinot Nero Pònkler vines were planted in 2007, are trained to Guyot and grow on a single vineyard site at 750 meters above sea level. French clones, which have proven particularly successful at this altitude, high planting density and deliberately low yields form the basis for grapes of exceptional quality. The vineyards are predominantly rooted in weathered porphyry and face south and southwest. Ideal conditions for a Pinot Nero with depth, elegance and character.
