Monticol Pinot Noir Riserva 2021

Cantina Terlano

Located in Alto Adige, Terlano is known for producing white wines that age beautifully. The vineyards are nestled on terraces that benefit from a great sun exposure and the cool alpine wind and lie on red volcanic soils. Vines have been carefully cultivated here by the same farming families for generations with a focus on cultivating as many vigorous old vines as possible to achieve optimum expression in the wines.

Monticol is sourced from vines lying at 450 to 600 meters above sea-level which benefit from cooler temperatures. Aged for 12 months in 30% large oak barrels and 70% in 300L barrels (30% new). Complex on the nose with aromas of wild strawberry, raspberry and cherry alongside notes of spice and minerals. Medium-bodied and elegant on the palate with mineral notes and a long finish.

Trentino Alto-Adige

Trentino Alto-Adige is characterized by the alpine peaks which soar for many thousands of feet above the Adige river Valley. The region follows the Adige river along its north-south course down from the Alps towards the plains, winding past various valleys and lakes.

Trentino-Alto Adige produces 8 DOCs and has a wide range of varieties: Schiava, Teroldego, Lagrein, and international grapes like Chardonnay and Pinot Noir among the most widely used. The standard red Trentino Rosso is made from the Cabernet grapes, with Merlot also thrown in to make it a near-complete Bordeaux Blend. Its white Trentino Bianco counterpart has Chardonnay and Pinot Bianco as its base, with Sauvignon Blanc, Muller-Thurgau and Manzoni Bianco as permitted auxiliaries.

Grape varieties In addition to the dominant local varieties Schiava and Lagrein, there's more and more interest for Teroldego and Pinot Noir amongst red grapes, while the main white grape vaeriteis are: Muller-Thurgau, Sylvaner and Gewurztraminer and some very fine examples of Sauvignon and Pinot Bianco, with other indigenous grapes like Nosiola.
