The wine

Description and technical sheet

Fallwind Pinot Noir Riserva 2023 offers a precise expression of Oltradige in South Tyrol. Its name comes from the evening downslope winds blowing from the Mendola massif, a distinctive part of the area's climate that helps shape the grapes' freshness and aromatic character.

Selected vineyards in Oltradige

This Alto Adige DOC Riserva comes from selected plots at 350–600 metres above sea level, facing southwest and southeast. Moraine deposits, limestone gravel and Guyot-trained vines provide the setting for Pinot Noir, a demanding variety that rewards careful vineyard work. The grapes are harvested and selected by hand.

Vinification and maturation

Fermentation takes place in stainless steel, followed by approximately 12 months in barriques and tonneaux, including malolactic fermentation. After blending, the wine undergoes further maturation in concrete vessels. The cellar ageing period totals at least two years, supporting the wine's balance and complexity.

Tasting profile and food pairing

Ruby red in colour, this wine displays aromas of cherry, wild berries and blackcurrant. The palate is complex yet delicate, with the elegance typical of finely handled Pinot Noir. Pair it with slow-cooked beef, feathered game, rabbit, roast goose or mature cheeses.
