Riserva Mazon

2011 Alto Adige Pinot Nero

The J. Hofstätter Riserva Mazon is a stunning representation of Alto Adige's renowned Pinot Nero. This full-bodied red wine showcases a deep ruby color, hinting at its rich complexity. On the palate, it reveals a brilliant balance of bright acidity that invigorates the senses and enhances the vibrant fruit intensity, featuring layers of dark cherry, plum, and subtle hints of earthiness. The tannins are notable yet supple, providing a structured framework that supports the wine's elegant profile. Being dry in style, this 2011 vintage beautifully marries the attributes of old-world craftsmanship with the expressive terroir of the region, making it a delightful choice for wine enthusiasts seeking a sophisticated experience.

While France takes the crown for the most famous wines styles and grape varieties, Italy is where wine was first perfected. The ancient Greeks called it Oenotria—"land of the vines"—and the Roman Empire advanced grape growing and winemaking to a level of quality we still enjoy today. But behind Italy's best-known wines, such as Chianti, Barolo and prosecco, there's an almost endless diversity of delights awaiting the intrepid explorer. The key to understanding Italian wine is regionality and (of course) food. From the aromatic and sparkling whites of the north to Sicily's rich and spicy reds, Italy offers wine lovers a lifetime of gastronomic treats.
