From the Magical 2015 vintage in Italy
Happy to Offer
2015 Gottardi Sudtiroler Blauburgunder $270 6pack
Trento-Alto Adige, Italy
100% Pinot Noir

On the palate it is an excellent definition of the elegance of this variety, full of fruity aromas of dried blackberry, cherry, figs and prune. Fine texture, wrapped in silky tannins and a long, polished finish.


The vineyard resides above Neumarkt in the South Tyrol area of Alto Adige. This area has ­always been known as "Pinot Noir Heaven" and one of the best places in Italy for growing this ­challenging variety. The estate’s high elevation faces the afternoon sun, making it ideal for cultivating some of Italy’s best Pinot Noir.
In 1986, the estate and its 16 acres were purchased by the Gottardi family. The acquisition was a return to winemaking in the region after losing their vineyards to phylloxera and ­peronospora three generations before. Dedicated exclusively to the cultivation of Pinot Noir, the Gottardi “chateau” has a gravity-fed winery that is customized to better accommodate this delicate ­variety, bringing out the best of its character in one of Alto Adige’s great crus.
