14% Vol
This elegant Pinot Noir is a selection of fine grapes from historic and sunny vineyards in the Alto Adige region of Northern Italy, a region that benefits from both a brisk alpine climate and Mediterranen sunshine. This results in a rich, deep, unique wine that can rival with many a Burgundy. Fruity and agreeably salty, this full-bodied red with poweful tannins and an elegant ruby colour is a versatile partner when it comes to food. Try it with spicy cheeses for example, and let yourself be charmed.

FAQs
No single country produces objectively the best red wine: the answer depends entirely on the style and grape variety preferred. France (Bordeaux, Burgundy, Rhône) is the reference point for Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, and Syrah at the highest level. Italy (Barolo, Brunello, Amarone) excels with Nebbiolo, Sangiovese, and Corvina. Spain (Rioja, Ribera del Duero) delivers world class Tempranillo. Australia, California, and Chile produce premium expressions that consistently compete at the highest international quality levels.
Italy, France, and Spain have historically competed for the position of world's largest wine producer by volume. Italy and France regularly trade the top position, each producing approximately 45 to 50 million hectolitres annually. Spain produces slightly less. Globally, these three countries account for approximately 45 to 50% of total world wine production. China and the United States have grown significantly as producers in recent decades and are now among the top five globally.
Italy and France consistently alternate as the world's top two wine producing countries, each producing approximately 45 to 50 million hectolitres per year. Spain is typically third. The global top five also includes the United States and China. Together these five nations account for the majority of global wine production by volume. Per capita consumption data and export value league tables present different rankings: France dominates export value even when Italy leads in volume.
Georgia in the South Caucasus region is widely recognised as the oldest continuously producing wine country, with archaeological evidence of winemaking dating to approximately 6000 BCE. The indigenous Rkatsiteli and Saperavi varieties are among the oldest cultivated grape varieties still in commercial production. Georgia also maintains the traditional Qvevri method, fermenting wine in large clay amphoras buried underground, which UNESCO recognised as an Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2013.
This is a categorically unanswerable question as wine quality is style and variety specific. France produces the reference benchmarks for Pinot Noir (Burgundy), Cabernet Sauvignon (Bordeaux), and Syrah (Northern Rhône). Italy excels with Nebbiolo (Barolo), Sangiovese (Brunello), and indigenous varieties. Spain dominates Tempranillo. Germany leads in Riesling. New World countries including Australia, New Zealand, California, and South Africa produce world class expressions across multiple varieties. The best wine is the one that most precisely suits your palate and occasion.
