As the name suggests, the red wine Alto Adige Valle Venosta Pinot Nero DOC is made from the Pinot Nero grape, or Blauburgunder (85-100%), as it is known locally, with the permitted addition of local red grapes.
This is a ruby red wine with orange reflections, which become particularly pronounced with age. The scent is ethereal, rousing and characteristic, while the taste is dry, soft and inviting. The wine has a slightly bitter aftertaste.
The wine is also known as Südtiroler/Südtirol Vinschgau Blauburgunder DOC.
If the label mentions “Vigna” (Gewächs or Wachstum), followed by the name of a place, it refers to a specific vineyard area or a “micro zone”.
Combines with local “speck” (pork) soup, with pasta or with soft to semi-hard cheeses.

Did you know?
That Italy in 2011 was the worlds largest wine producer?
The Molise region has historically been so neglected that you can hardly find the origin of its name, beyond that it's believed to have originated from the Middle Ages, where a Normann family, the Moulins, owned large portions of the area as a county.
