Fuori Serie MMXV, rosso 2015 1500ml Magnum

Wine Description for Fuori Serie MMXV rosso 2015 1500ml Magnum by Pranzegg

Character

The Fuori Serie MMXV from Pranzegg is a remarkable homage to the traditional Vernatsch culture of South Tyrol, presented in the noble magnum bottle. The name „Fuori Serie“ – outside the series – already suggests that this is a special bottling that goes beyond the everyday Vernatsch. With a moderate 12% alcohol content, this wine embodies the alpine elegance and drinkability for which South Tyrolean red wines are appreciated.

Terroir & Origin

Pranzegg lies in the heart of South Tyrol, where alpine influences and Mediterranean warmth converge. The region benefits from cool nights and sunny days, which give Vernatsch its characteristic freshness and vibrancy. South Tyrolean terroir with its calcareous soils and high altitude creates ideal conditions for delicate, aromatic red wines with natural acidity structure. The 2015 vintage is considered excellently balanced in South Tyrol with optimal ripeness.

Grape Variety & Vinification

The Vernatsch (Schiava) is the historic leading grape variety of South Tyrol and stands for uncomplicated, yet by no means simple red wines. This autochthonous variety typically produces pale ruby tones, delicate tannins and a bouquet of red berries, violets and almonds. The magnum bottle promises slower, more harmonious maturation. Pranzegg’s „Fuori Serie“ likely features careful selection and possibly extended maceration time to give the wine more structure and depth, without losing the variety’s typical elegance.

Food Pairing Recommendations

This Vernatsch harmonises perfectly with South Tyrolean cuisine: speck platters, schlutzkrapfen, caspressknödel or pan-fried calf’s liver. Its moderate structure makes it an ideal companion for grilled vegetables, mushroom dishes and semi-mature cheeses. The wine’s freshness also complements pizza and pasta with tomato sauce beautifully.
