Grape Variety: Pinot Noir
Pinot Noir was successfully introduced into Alto Adige on
the beginning of the 19 century. It soon became evident
that the gently sloping terrain and the micro-climate at
Mazon were perfect for producing Pinot Noir of
international stature.
Soil: A mixture of clay, lime and eroded porphyry
Winemaking: 75 percent of the bunches are de-stemmed,
while the remaining 25 percent are placed whole in the
fermentation vats. Fermentation lasts 10 days, during
which the skins and other solids are constantly kept loose
and submerged in the must.
Description: The Pinot Noir is distinguished by
its unmistakable varietal character, its distinctive aroma
and fruity character, by its bright ruby colour with garnet
reflexes, and its fresh, stimulating bouquet with seductive
hints of woodland berries and cherry. On the palate
Meczan is harmonious, sappy and mellow with impressive
fruit.
Food Choices: Game dishes, roasts, pasta with meat
sauces.
