From the heart of the renowned wine region of Mazzon, in the Alto Adige region, comes the Pinot Nero Private Cellar by Weingut Gottardi, a wine that encapsulates the essence of Italian winemaking tradition with a touch of modern refinement. This Pinot Nero stands out for its elegant complexity and distinctive character.
The hand-selected harvest and rigorous selection of grapes ensure that only the finest fruits are used. Once picked, the clusters undergo a slow and meticulous fermentation process, followed by aging in French oak barrels for about 12 months. This meticulous winemaking process gives the wine a perfect balance between soft tannins and structured acidity.
Visually, the Pinot Nero Private Cellar presents a delicate yet deep ruby red color. On the nose, it offers an intriguing bouquet of ripe berries, particularly raspberry and cherry, with subtle notes of vanilla and sweet spices from the aging in wood. On the palate, the complexity evolves elegantly, revealing layers of crisp red fruit, earthy notes, and a persistent finish that invites another sip.
This wine is ideal as an accompaniment to delicate meat dishes such as roast duck or stewed rabbit, but it also pairs wonderfully with aged cheeses or mushroom-based dishes. Its versatile elegance makes it perfect for special occasions or as a sophisticated gift for wine lovers.
The experience and passion of Weingut Gottardi shine through in every glass of this Pinot Nero, offering an unforgettable sensory experience that celebrates the best of Alto Adige viticulture.

The story
The Gottardi family, originally involved in the wine trade in Innsbruck, purchased the vineyards in Mazzon in 1986. Over the years the vines were replanted and the winery renovated: the first wine produced in the renewed facility dates back to 1995. Chardonnay and Gewürztraminer were also cultivated in the past, but since 2010 the estate has focused exclusively on Pinot Noir. Management has remained family-run: after the death of the founder Bruno and a period under Alexander’s leadership, since May 2022 the winery has been led by Elisabeth Gottardi.
Production philosophy
Utmost attention to Pinot Noir and the terroir: meticulous winemaking to express the elegance and identity of Mazzon, with a careful selection of barriques and oak aging for the flagship wines.
Terroir and vineyards
Mazzon, a west-facing hill in southern South Tyrol; its microclimate — warm days and cool nights — is considered ideal for Pinot Noir.
