Alto Adige is one of the most suitable zone in Italy to cultivate Pinot Nero. It fact, it is able to offer the best conditions for the plants growth and that is the main reason why, this variety is the most diffused in this territory.

The wine making is done with 100% Pinot Nero grapes. The provenience of the plants is limited by a strict selection and it is concentrated in the zone of Pochi, Appiano and Cortaccia, located at 300-450 meters on the sea level.
