Lechthaler Pinot Nero (Pinot Noir) - Trentino DOC 2006

kennuncorked Tasting Notes

Production Practices:
Awaiting response - No confirmation regarding use of "Sustainable", "Organic" or "Biodynamic" practices.

Varietal/Blend
100% Pinot Nero

Appearance:
With the glass tilted, the wine is transparent with a light cherry core fading to a medium (+) dark pink rim and finally to a narrow water-white rim.

Nose/Aromas:
Clean with what seems to be a typical cool climate Pinot Noir displaying a medium intensity of mint and red currant with hints of red cherry and refreshing herbaceousness.

Palate:
Dry, light bodied with medium (+) acidity and a low intensity of tannins. There is no indication of alcohol burn (the alcohol level = 13%). The fruit/flavor characteristics are similar to the nose with a little more pronounced red cherry.

Finish/Length:
Clean and medium in length with hints of fresh red fruit (raspberry and strawberry). For some reason the word "brambly" came to mind. There also was a pleasant slight sweet attack.

Cost:
Approximate retail price: US$13.00.

Producers Notes:

Characteristic with a red-berry fruit scented bouquet. Soft dryness with a pleasing finish.
