Hofstatter - Pinot Nero 'Barthenau' 2018 750ml
2018 Alto Adige DOC 750ml
Description
Barthenau Vigna San Urbano faithfully reveals the potential inherent in Hofstatter’s finest cru to produce world-class Pinot Noir. It is located in the heart of the vineyard surrounding the Barthenau manor house close to the hamlet of Mazon, where some of the Pinot Noir vines there are over 65 years old.
Vigna San Urbano is categorized as a Single Vineyard wine among the Hofstatter range which stem from historic vineyard parcels. Included among these are three great growths that are produced only in extraordinary vintages.
The J. Hofstätter estate owns several farmsteads, including five historic aristocratic “Ansitze”, aristocratic residences typical for South Tyrol. These farmsteads are located on both the east and west sides of the Adige River, which is unique for this region.
Features
- 100% Pinot Nero (Pinot Noir)

- Not a run-of-the mill wine, it is from a unique wine-growing area
