The Pinot Nero Alto Adige DOC - Meczan - Hofstatter is a red wine of refined elegance, produced from the renowned vineyards located in the Alto Adige region, known for its ideal climate that ensures optimal grape ripening. This wine comes specifically from the Hofstätter winery, one of the most prestigious in the area, known for its dedication to quality and viticultural tradition.

The Pinot Nero Meczan stands out for its delicate ruby red color with garnet reflections that develop with aging. On the nose, it offers an intricate bouquet where notes of ripe red fruits such as cherry and blackberry prevail, enriched by hints of violet and a slight spicy touch imparted by the wood.

On the palate, the wine is elegant and well-balanced. The acidity and tannins are harmoniously integrated, giving the Pinot Nero Meczan a silky structure and a medium-full body. The aromatic persistence is remarkable, leaving a fresh and pleasantly fruity sensation.

This wine pairs splendidly with light meat dishes like roast chicken, mushroom-based dishes, or soft cheeses. It is also an excellent companion for an evening of conversation and relaxation. Its versatility and elegance make it an excellent representative of Alto Adige's Pinot Nero, showcasing how Hofstätter manages to express the character of this noble variety in one of its most suitable terroirs.

Discover the story and wines of Tenuta J. Hofstätter.

Family-owned winery based in Termeno (South Tyrol), known for its emphasis on the origin of its wines and for its line of cru labeled "Vigna".

Country: Italia
Founded: 1907

A pioneer in Alto Adige in using the designation "Vigna" to denote single-vineyard wines. Historic premises in the centre of Termeno, flanked by a winemaking tower added during renovation and expansion works. Vineyards spread across multiple microclimates: Bassa Atesina, high-altitude sites in Trentino, and parcels in the Mosel/Saar for Riesling. A strong tradition in Gewürztraminer and Pinot Noir, complemented by a wide range of the region's typical white and red varieties. The offer also includes dealcoholized wines from the 'Zero' line.
Winery history
The winery has family origins: Josef and Maria Hofstätter began production in Termeno, and over the course of the 20th century management passed to family members and key figures such as Konrad Oberhofer. In the 1950s the winery was among the first in the area to bottle its own wine and to promote wines of defined origin. In the following decades the estate grew through marriages between winemaking families, acquisitions of farmsteads and vineyards, and extensive modernization from the 1990s under the leadership of Martin Foradori Hofstätter.
Production philosophy
The approach is centered on origin: vinifying the grapes separately to convey the character of each vineyard. The "Vigna" classification encapsulates the commitment to zoning and the expression of terroir, together with an openness to winemaking innovation.
Terroir and vineyards
The vineyards extend along both banks of the Valle dell'Adige in the Bassa Atesina. The estate also cultivates plots in Trentino and has projects and vineyards in the Mosel/Saar region of Germany for Riesling.
Awards and recognitions
Some of the winery's wines and its crus have received recognition and ratings from the specialist press.
