Girlan
Riserva Vigna Ganger Mazon Südtirol-Alto Adige Pinot Noir
Alto Adige, Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy
A very delicious example of high end Pinot noir from the Alto Adige / sudtirol. Dark ruby in the glass. Quite a viscous palate which is perhaps not surprising given the 15% abv according to the label - would have guessed less myself for sure given the relative lack of heat. Intensely aromatic with lots of deep dark red fruit on the nose - can smell it far from the glass. Deep and mouth filling, but still manages to express Pinot noir in its own way. A beautiful pairing with young lamb at Sissi in Merano. Incredibly long finish with great acidity.
