Merlot Alto Adige DOC 2015 - Putzenhof
Merlot Alto Adige DOC 2015 - Putzenhof
A wine that does not go unnoticed this Alto Adige Merlot Doc of Putzenhof. The vinification harvest of this wine begins in October, fermentation in steel at controlled temperature. The refinement takes place in 12 months in barrel and 12 months in bottle. Garnet red color illuminates the large glass and already lets you guess the olfactory richness, the intensity strikes on the nose, hints of blackcurrant, berries on a bed of spices. On the palate a splendid texture of tannin indicates the generous structure and the great.
Putzenhof
Family-run company located south of Bolzano, a pearl nestled in Alto Adige. The story begins way back in 1956, when the grandparents of the current manager of the company, Roman Mottironi, decided to buy an old farmhouse perched on a hill and leaning against the foot of a porphyry wall. Just over five hectares of vineyards and a hectare and a half of apple orchards. Wine production has always been intended to cover its own needs, while in 2009 the bottling of DOC wine for marketing began. The vinified grapes come only from the estate vineyards, located at an altitude ranging from 350 to 600 meters above sea level. The wines produced, thanks to the specific terroir, are characterized by good minerality, excellent flavor and have a very balanced acidity. The company produces both white wines including Sauvignon and Kerner, and red wines such as Lagrein, Merlot, Pinot Noir and the “Bozner Leiten” (Colli di Bolzano), a typical wine of the area, a blend of Schiava, Pinot Noir and Lagrein, of which Putzenhof is the only existing producer.
