Descrizione

The Baltasius Pinot Nero Riserva Alto Adige DOC by Schloss Englar is an elegant expression of the prestigious South Tyrolean territory, where the cool climate and high altitudes allow a slow and harmonious ripening of the grapes. This Pinot Nero stands out for the purity and finesse of the fruit, the result of carefully selected vineyards and attentive winemaking that emphasizes balance and complexity.

The wine patiently ages in wooden barrels, a process during which it develops a refined structure and aromatic notes of cherry, small red fruits, and light spicy hints reminiscent of white pepper. On the palate, it is soft, enveloping, with silky tannins and a vibrant freshness that balances the natural sapidity of the alpine terroir, delivering a long and harmonious finish.

Ideal paired with elaborate white meats, mushroom dishes, or medium-aged cheeses, the Baltasius Pinot Nero Riserva is a wine that elegantly tells the story of one of Italy's most fascinating appellations, enhancing the delicacy and balance of Pinot Nero in its most aristocratic nuances.

Winery history

The Castel/Schloss Englar complex is a medieval settlement first mentioned in documents from 1256; the present late‑Gothic building developed from the 15th century and the property has been linked for centuries to the Counts Khuen‑Belasi. In recent decades the manor has been restored and also converted for hospitality use; wine production was revived and, since 2014, winemaking has again been carried out and bottled on site.

Production philosophy

The winery focuses on estate-grown grapes, organic vineyard management and the preservation of biodiversity. In the cellar, careful winemaking practices are preferred to produce clean wines characteristic of the area, with extended aging in wood and respect for maturation on the lees when necessary.

Terroir and vineyards

Located in San Michele di Appiano, the estate stands on a south-facing terraced hill with an almost Mediterranean influence. The area benefits from ample sunshine and soils well suited to alpine and international varieties.

Awards and recognitions

Wine ratings reported by specialist magazines, with scores for various reserve wines reaching up to around 93/100 for labels such as Pinot Blanc and Pinot Noir Reserve; numerous labels reviewed with scores in the 91–93/100 range.
