514 PINOT NERO Blauburgunder D.O.C. Süd Tirol

The Fugatti brothers a few years ago took over one of the most beautiful estates nestled on the Pochi plateau, a sort of large terrace overlooking the Adige valley, warmed by the afternoon sun, enjoying the cool breezes that descend from the mountain behind.

Only the grape varieties best suited to the terroir provide the grapes for a production whose focus is elegance and longevity.

Production is structured around a range of highly recognizable varietals, which bear the average altitude of the vineyards on the label, with the Flowers selection dedicated to wines with the closest connection to the terroir.

The vineyard in the Montagne appellation covers around 25 hectares on a clay/limestone hillside to the north-east of St Emilion, and in the early 1990s received considerable investment, with much work done in the vineyard and the cellar. 

Hand-harvested grapes undergo gentle destemming and maceration on the skins to enhance color, structure, and aromatic complexity. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures, with regular pump-overs to ensure optimal extraction of tannins and flavors.

Aging: The wine matures in French oak barrels for several months, refining its structure, enhancing its aromatic depth, and adding subtle spicy notes. It is then bottle-aged to achieve greater harmony and elegance before release.
