In the glass
Aroma: finesse-rich red fruit, alpine herb spice
Palate: structured, fresh, elegant
Praesulis Pinot Nero from steep Eisacktal slopes at 400-800 m: finesse-rich red-fruit aromatics with alpine herb spice shaped by Dolomite fallwinds, structured fresh palate from barrique ageing in the rock-carved cellar.

Veal and Pinot Noir are classical partners. -
Mushroom risotto
Forest mushroom umami threads through Pinot Nero's earthy spice. -
Aged Sennakaese
Alpine hard cheese sharpens the cuvee's herb-spice register.
