Whether it's labelled as Blauburgunder or simply by its Italian name of Pinot Noir, it's hard to go wrong when you choose a bottle like this. The king of red wines, in fact, thrives on the steep eastern and western slopes high above Merano, where cool summer winds create ideal conditions for fruity, structured red wines with high ageing potential. Cantina Merano only vinifies grapes from the best wine-growing areas, with old vines of valuable French clones with an average age of between 10 and 30 years. After harvesting, the grapes are quickly brought to the winery where they are expertly processed. Alcoholic fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature for about 10-15 days, followed by malolactic fermentation and maturation in small oak barrels and used barriques. Intense ruby red in colour, this wine has typical aromas, with hints of berries and red berries. In the mouth, however, it is soft and juicy, with velvety tannins that ensure a good persistence. Difficult to go wrong with the combination. It is a wine that strongly recalls red meat dishes and medium-aged cheeses.
Sometimes a few numbers are enough to understand everything. In the case of Cantina Merano, based in Marlengo, on the hills overlooking the city, the numbers are simple. Between 300 and 900 metres above sea level, the vineyards enjoy perfect exposure and the beneficial temperature range that every wine lover seeks like the Holy Grail. Over 1940 hours of sunshine per year are enjoyed by the vineyards here. There are 16 grape varieties in the vineyards, which produce 60% of the red wines (quality) and 40% of the white wines. Of these varieties, three are indigenous to the region and produce wines with an unmistakable character. The winery produces a total of 1.3 million bottles a year. The secret? Hard manual work, both in the vineyard and in the cellar, to ensure careful and gentle processing of each grape variety. In the cellar, in particular, tradition and innovation are combined with expertise, foresight and care. The philosophy that guides every choice is that of "Less is more", because the character of the grapes must still be recognisable in the glass of wine.
