The Nals Margreid Mazzon Pinot Noir from Südtirol (Alto Adige) is a sophisticated and elegant red wine that showcases the distinct terroir of the Mazzon region, renowned for producing some of Italy’s finest Pinot Noirs. Crafted with precision and care, this wine is a testament to Nals Margreid’s commitment to quality and tradition.
On the nose, the wine exudes refined aromas of ripe red cherries, raspberries, and wild strawberries, intertwined with floral hints of violets and rose petals. Subtle notes of clove, forest floor, and a delicate minerality add complexity and depth.
The palate is medium-bodied, with silky tannins and a vibrant acidity that provides structure and balance. Flavors of juicy red berries dominate, complemented by savory nuances of spice, earthiness, and a touch of oak-induced vanilla. The wine’s long and harmonious finish leaves a lasting impression of finesse and purity.
Sourced from the Mazzon vineyard, situated at elevations of 350 to 450 meters, the Pinot Noir vines thrive in the area’s clay and limestone soils and benefit from the Alpine climate. The diurnal temperature variation ensures a slow ripening process, resulting in wines of exceptional aromatic intensity and balance. Fermented in small batches and aged in oak barrels, this Pinot Noir reflects both its unique terroir and the meticulous craftsmanship of the Nals Margreid team.
This wine pairs beautifully with dishes such as roasted duck, grilled salmon, or mushroom risotto. It also complements aged cheeses like Gruyère or Comté. While approachable in its youth, the Mazzon Pinot Noir has the structure and complexity to evolve gracefully over 8–10 years, gaining further depth and nuance with time.
