Luzia Pinot Noir 2019 - Kellerei St. Pauls

A wine of great class and presence. The Romans already knew how to make the most of the particularly fertile soil of the town of San Paolo. As well as the light and the descending air currents that characterize this area. Luzia is a bright and deep-colored Pinot Noir. It is a tribute to the Roman villa, the remains of which still overlook the vineyards of Luzia. Pinot Noir with a bright and deep color. A multifaceted aromatic spectrum of berries, cherry and raspberry, hints of red flowers with a light herbaceous note. Refined and elegant flavor with velvety tannins.

St. Pauls Winery

In the heart of the municipality of Appiano, a few kilometers from Bolzano, lies the town of San Paolo. Since the end of the 19th century, wine was sold by private winemakers both on the national and foreign markets, even as far as Moscow and St. Petersburg. Around 1900, the winemakers decided to join together in cooperatives, so as to be able to participate directly, and under better conditions, in the production and harvesting of the grapes. In 1907, the cooperative "Cantina Produttori San Paolo" was founded: 36 winemakers from San Paolo, Missiano, Monte and Riva di Sotto who participated in the founding assembly. Until 1908, the grapes from the harvest were collected in the private cellars of the town. In 1914, the cellars were equipped with modern equipment and in 1920 a Saurer brand truck was purchased, one of the first. In 1968, a fully automatic bottling plant was purchased, while in 1974 a sales point was set up in the courtyard area. In 1979/1980, a large warehouse was built in the northern area, simultaneously starting a modernization process, in line with technological processes.
