RKS 2024 Wine: A Pinot Nero from Northern Italy

Posted byRobert K Stephen (CSW)Posted inFood, WineTags:, , ,

The winery is in Bolzano, Italy and I have passed through Bolzano several times on my way to Austria. It is 118 kms. from Innsbruck.

Aroma: Smoky red cherry. Some red beet and milk chocolate.

Palate: More or less the same as on the nose. Light with a micro coating of tannins that fades almost instantly. Minimal acids but a good grip. Short spicy licorice finish.

Personality: Somewhat like a Pinot Noir crossed with Sangiovese on crutches.

Food Match: Roasted White Bean and Tomato Pasta (See New York Times).

Price: $30 CDN.

Cellarbility: Drink by 2026-year end.

RKS 2024 Wine Rating: 90/100. David Lawrson Wine Align 90.

(Kellerei Bozen 2022 Pinot Nero, D.O.C. Alto Adige, Cantina Produttori Bolzano, Bolzano, Italy, 750 mL. 13.5%).
