Vigna Ganger 2016 Girlan

Professionelle Bewertungen

Robert Parker (95)

The Girlan 2016 Alto Adige Pinot Noir Riserva Mazon Vigna Ganger is a distinguished expression of the grape—and one of the best to come from Italy. This special wine draws its fruit from a vineyard site that is a veritable garden of Pinot Noir, with steep diurnal temperature shifts, a good elevation (at 370 meters above sea level) and loose limestone soils. This vintage and past vintages teach us that Vigna Ganger does not specifically offer those typical wild berry and blue flower aromas you normally get with the Burgundian grape. Instead, this interpretation veers toward dark plum, slate or granite. It shows a synergistic use of oak spice and tar, and it has more structure, thanks to 20% stem inclusion during fermentation. The palate delivers candied cherry, blood orange and pressed lilac. This wine needs more time to evolve in the cellar. Production is a precious 2,700 bottles.
