Tasting note
Colour & Appearance
Pale garnet red with youthful, violet reflections.
Nose
Fresh and immensely beguiling, intense fruit notes of sour cherry, jostaberry, blueberry and cassis rise from the glass. Delicate nuances of graphite and fresh wild herbs lend a cool, noble structure to the aromatic play.
Palate
On the palate, this Pinot Noir presents itself as delicate, dancing and of fascinating lightness. At a moderate 11.5% ABV, the subtle fruit takes centre stage. The tannins are polished and velvety, underpinned by a ripe, invigorating acid structure. A red wine of contemporary elegance.
Terroir & Origin
Sixth-generation South Tyrolean winemaking culture: the Lageder family farms their vineyards in the tension between alpine coolness and Mediterranean influences. The grapes for this wine come from a newly planted top vineyard site in Eppan.
Grape Variety & Vinification
A spectacular experiment made from 100% Pinot Noir: in 2020, 20 different clones and massal selections were planted on various rootstocks. 2023 saw the very first small maiden harvest. Following a 7-day fermentation without whole bunches, the wine matured for 16 months in large oak casks.
Food Pairings
Served slightly chilled, it is an outstanding partner for spiced meat dishes, roast poultry or fine pasta dishes.
Special Features
Part of Clemens Lageder’s experimental Komet range, which challenges conventional dogmas. Supported by the estate’s Demeter-certified philosophy, this wine shows just how slender, highly moreish and elegant modern South Tyrolean red wine can be.
