Trattmann is a Pinot Noir, Alto Adige DOC, from the Girlan winery. It comes from a very careful selection of grapes from vineyards in the municipality of Mazzon, from Pinzon, not far away, and from Cornaiano in the Oltradige. Harvested by hand, after destemming the must is transferred by gravity into stainless steel vats where fermentation takes place. Then, after malolactic fermentation, it is aged for 12 months in large oak casks and barriques. This is followed by a further refinement of about 8 months in a large 70-hectolitre cask and another 6 months in the bottle. The result is a wine characterized by a beautifully intense ruby red colour with hints of light garnet. Intense and complex aromas with hints of ripe fruit, cherry and marasca cherry. In the mouth it is soft delicate, vinous, with fruity tannins, good structure and persistence.
23 must be a lucky number. At least in South Tyrol. Yes, because in 1923 the Girlan Winery was founded and, as chance would have it, it was founded by 23 winegrowers. Cabal aside, the winery is housed in a historic 16th century farmhouse. Behind these walls of ancient tradition and in the intricate corridors of the Cellar, nowadays the secrets of cutting-edge wine-making technology and the ideal conditions for aging wines are hidden. A lot of water has gone under the bridge since then. And wines in those cellars. Today, 200 winegrowers are involved in the Girlan project, spread over an area of approximately 220 hectares. Vineyards in the best production areas of Oltradige and Bassa Atesina, all worked with great dedication. The oenologist responsible for the creation of the wines is Gerhard Kofler, who personally takes care of the contacts with the vintners, giving his advice in the most delicate phases of the season. The result is here to try. Wines of the highest quality, divided into three distinct lines: Selections, Vineyards and Classics.
