Adler Alto Adige Pinot Noir 2021
Alto Adige, Italy
This lovely Pinot Noir from northern Italy is very unique! It's aged in large, neutral Slovanian oak barrels, resulting in no oak influence! It's light-bodied, but still full of deep ripe fruit flavors. The perfect summer red wine - I put it somewhere between a Pinot Noir and a Rose'. Serve slightly chilled and enjoy on a hot summer day! – Wine Factor
WHERE IS THE ALTO ADIGE WINE REGION?
Alto Adige is an alpine valley situated in the northeastern part of Italy bordering Austria and Switzerland, and is well known for its beauty. Also known as South Tyrol, the area is a highly-regarded wine producing region which has recently gained the attention of international wine critics.
The high mountain peaks protect South Tyrol from the Atlantic winds and cold northerlies, while the region benefits from the Mediterranean climate from the south. Terlano has a remarkable microclimate, with pronounced differences in temperature between day and night caused by the cool downslope winds from the mountains.
To the south, a number of mountain massifs like the Adamello also have a protective function. As a result, annual precipitation is only about one-third of the average for the southern Alpine foothills, and the number of hours of sunshine is higher.
