Tramin Maglen Pinot Noir Riserva
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.
