This Dignus Blauburgunder from Ritterhof Winery is a distinguished South Tyrolean red wine created for special occasions. The grapes grow on the steep slopes of Montan, in the southwest-facing sun-drenched vineyards of Glen, on gravelly clay soils at around 600 meters above sea level.
In the glass, it displays a clear ruby-red color. On the nose, it reveals a complex bouquet of delicately spiced fruit aromas, featuring ripe red berries and cherries complemented by elegant toasted notes. On the palate, it is juicy and refined, with balanced tannins, aristocratic richness and fine ripe fruit notes that carry through to the long finish. Its structure, depth and balance make it a particularly dignified Pinot Noir with remarkable character.
