TASTING NOTES

Hofstatter is a historic Alto Adige winery, which operates using techniques that combine tradition with an ongoing quest for innovation. Given the exceptional quality of the wines it produces, this aim is easily achieved every year and gives a voice to this terroir’s authentic personality. The winery is headed up by Martin Foradori, heir to an ancient family of winemakers, who, thanks to careful and environmentally-friendly growing methods, creates red and white wines of enormous expressive power, offering balance and elegance. This Alto Adige red wine is a monovarietal made from Pinot Noir grapes grown on the Mazon plateau, on the east side of the valley of Termeno. Vittorio Foradori, the grandfather of the current winemaker, cherished Mazon's terroir by entrusting its legacy to his son Paolo, unanimously recognised as the father of Alto Adige Pinot Noir. Today the Mazon plateau is one of the most ideal locations in the world for cultivating this grape variety, thanks to its gentle slopes, mix of clay, limestone and porphyry soil, and an enviable microclimate with light evening breezes that allow the grapes to stay dry and healthy. Since the early nineteenth century, this area has been offering raw materials of excellent quality and typicality. After harvest, 75% of the grapes are de-stemmed and 25% are poured intact into vats. Fermentation takes about 10 days, and during this period the must remains in direct contact with the skins at all times to maximise the extraction of colours, aromas and flavours. The wine is then aged in stainless steel. A lively, essential Pinot Noir for everyday drinking. From its ruby colour with garnet reflections to its dense nose of berries and ripe cherries, this exuberant wine ends in a rounded harmonious palate, with no edges. This wine pairs well with white meats and vegetable dishes or game, as well as appetisers of cured meats and vegetable-based first courses. Read more Read less
THE WINERY

Hofstatter

The Hofstatter Winery is a historical symbol of Alto Adige, guarded by the imposing walls of a 16th century building in the province of Bolzano. The Hofstatter vineyards stretch across the eastern and western sides of the Etschtal, finding a home on soils with different characteristics and microclimates. It was precisely because of this peculiarity that in 1987, for the first time in this region, they were able to introduce the designation “Vigna” for seven of their wines. Heir to an ancient family of winegrowers, Martin Foradori continues to pursue Hofstatter's core objective to this day: to harmonise the centuries-old, unique tradition of their land with an eye for innovation. In fact, the immense heritage of the Hofstatter estate has not precluded the use of modern technology to create a state-of-the-art winery, where new, low-energy concrete barrels are housed. The exceptional finesse of Hofstatter wines confirms that this goal is achieved year after year, yielding sublime examples of both whites, such as the renowned Gewürztraminer, and reds, such as Pinot Noir, that are recognised even beyond Italian borders. Name and address of producer/distributor: Hofstatter - Rathausplatz 7 - 39040 Tramin BZ. Products from this winery should be stored in a cool, dry place away from heat sources.
