Forget that the quality of Pinot Noir should be linked to the amount of new oak used: the new generation of producers and winemakers in the Alto-Adige region is experimenting with projects such as Project XXX, a new line from Kellerei Kaltern managed by talented winemaker, Andrea Moser. This Pinot Noir comes from some of the highest vineyards of the estate, at 650 metres above sea level. The grapes are fermented without destemming, with three months of maceration. Gently pressed, the wine is then aged in the same vessels on their lees. An extremely precise Pinot, its restrained nose focuses on violet, peony, rose and red fruit, followed by a strawberry and cherry flavoured palate with floral touches. Long and savoury, with firm yet ripe tannins.
