Pinot Nero 2021

The 2021 Pinot Nero displays vivid roses, wild strawberries and mint. It's soft and cool-toned in feel with ripe red fruits and pretty inner florals. Licorice and blueberry notes resonate through the lip-smacking finale. Drinking window: 2023-2025

Pinot Nero 2019

89

The 2019 Kaltern Blauburgunder Pinot Nero is wonderfully fresh and vibrant, like a dollop of strawberry preserves offset by hints of savory herbs and undergrowth. Soft and pure, it displays ripe red fruits, propelled by a core of minerals and juicy acids, making for an energetic and pleasing expression. Hints of sweet spice and pretty florals linger on the long and refreshing finish

Pinot Nero 2018

89

This is a balanced and luminous interpretation of Pinot Noir, with wild berry and cassis. There's not much depth to speak of in the 2018 Alto Adige Pinot Nero, but the wine is broad, wide and satisfying. The fruit is immediate, ripe and balanced having aged just briefly (for four months) in a combination of cement and large oak casks. This one should work just fine on pizza night. ​
