About

Rating:

"Delicate floral notes and bright red fruit flavors give this a cool-climate feel, with light smoky and herbal notes accenting the ample fruit flavors of cranberry and strawberry. The wine spent 15 months in a mix of small and large barrels, adding dimension without imparting heavy oak flavors."

Product Description:

Tasting Notes:
"Belonging to the Vigneti line, Patricia is 100% Pinot Noir grown on the south-west facing slopes of Mazzon, above Egna, where winegrower Mrs. Patricia Von Elzenbaum runs the “Astmayer-Hof” vineyards. Clay and lime soils are ideal for Pinot Nero, conveying softness and an elegant structure.

Complex with fragrance layers scents of earth and black raspberries, a savory wild fruit character that runs straight through to the end. The structure frames the flavors with gentle spice that tightens around the wine and lasts." - Importer

Winery:
"The Cantina Girlan was founded in 1923 by 23 vintners congregating at this historic 16th century country estate in the village of Girlan. Back then, the 23 charter members had an annual production of a mere 2,700 hectoliters of wine. The Cantina Girlan now has 200 wine-grower members, for a total area of 220 hectares of vineyards in the best growing zones of the Oltradige and Bassa Atesina.

Girlan – first mentioned in historical documents dating back to A.D.1085 – has always been a famed wine-growing area. The vineyards are located at altitudes from 250 to 550 m above sea level, in different soil types that form an ideal environment for growing numerous native and international varieties. Our winemaker, Gerhard Kofler, maintains a close and personal contact with all the wine-growers. This exchange of information and experience is the cornerstone of Girlan’s continuous efforts to produce quality wines. The cellars and wine-making facilities have been renovated and completely modernized in 2010 and grapes are processed by gravity, without any mechanical handling." - Importer
