Descrizione

The Red Cuvee from Ploner is a charming and complex red wine that captivates connoisseurs with its extraordinary fusion of local varieties. Produced in a renowned wine-growing area, this Cuvee reflects the high quality and attention to detail of the Ploner winery.

Intensely ruby-colored, the Red Cuvee exudes a bouquet of aromas that invite one to explore the depth of this wine. Notes of ripe red fruits are combined with nuances of sweet spices, vanilla, and a light touch of tobacco, a result of careful aging in barriques.

On the palate, it is robust and well-structured. The tannic presence is balanced by a lively acidity that gives the wine a lasting freshness. The fruity and spicy notes are found again in the mouth, leaving a pleasantly long aromatic persistence.

Perfect to be served at a temperature of 18-20°C, the Red Cuvee from Ploner is ideal alongside rich dishes such as roasts, game, and aged cheeses. Its versatility also makes it suitable for accompanying a gourmet tasting evening.

This wine not only represents an excellent choice for any collector but also an opportunity for those newcomers who wish to approach the world of complex and structured red wines. The Red Cuvee is a testament to Ploner's ability to produce wines that reflect the terroir and the winemaking art of the region.

Winery history

Plonerhof was born from the conversion of an old farmhouse into a vineyard, led by the Tutzer family. The first bottling trials date back to the 2010s, with production consolidating in the early years of the following decade. The estate combines the owners' vine-nursery expertise with direct vineyard management, developing over the years an identity focused on low yields, clonal selection and quality wines.

Production philosophy

Vineyards are cultivated with the utmost respect for the environment, employing minimal interventions and a strong emphasis on manual work; at the winery the focus is on careful grape handling and a calibrated aging regime that highlights varietal and terroir characteristics. The estate has also undertaken projects on resistant grape varieties and clonal selection.

Terroir and vineyards

Marlengo hill: sandy-clay soils with occurrences of granite, schist and gneiss; vineyards on the valley-facing slopes with steep gradients, which promote a marked diurnal temperature range and the aromatic ripening of the grapes.

Awards and recognitions

Mentions and awards for some wines: the winery's Solaris has been awarded or mentioned in PIWI contexts; the Pinot Noir is positively mentioned in specialist guides and rankings.
