The Pinot Nero Riserva Fallwind Alto Adige DOC from St. Michael Eppan shows an elegant, restrained profile, typical of Alto Adige interpretations of the variety. In the glass it displays a transparent ruby color with bright reflections; on the nose it opens to aromas of ripe red fruits, cherry and raspberry, accompanied by earthy nuances and light floral hints. It is a wine that emphasizes aromatic precision and balance, with well-integrated tannins and freshness that supports its drinkability.

On the palate it confirms a saline, harmonious texture, with a linear gustatory progression and persistence of fresh fruit and light spice. It pairs with white meat dishes, mushrooms and medium-mature cheeses, as well as regional preparations that highlight the delicacy of Pinot Nero. The finish is clean and of good length, with fruity returns that invite another sip. It is advisable to serve it at a moderate temperature to appreciate its aromatic profile and measured structure.
