🏰 The 2022 Cantina Terlano Pinot Noir Riserva Monticol from Alto Adige is a testament to the region's ability to produce elegant and complex Pinot Noir. This wine flourishes at medium to high altitudes (450-600 meters above sea-level) where downslope winds provide a cooling effect. The vintage saw a snowy winter, a dry spring, and a cool, wet May, leading to optimal grape ripening. It presents an intensive ruby red color and a multifaceted nose of wild strawberries, raspberry, and cherry, blending with elegant spicy notes and hints of flint. On the palate, it is well-balanced with a pronounced mineral elegance, offering a long and exciting finish. James Suckling rated the 2022 vintage with 94 points, praising its floral notes, pomegranate, strawberries, silky tannins, and juicy, precise finish. 【 A multifaceted Alto Adige Pinot Noir with pronounced mineral elegance 】. 🍴 This elegant Pinot Noir is an ideal companion for roast kid with celeriac and carrot purée, lamb cutlets with herb risotto, or poppy-seed roasted saddle of sucking calf. It also pairs well with roast beef, flavorful mature cheeses, and saddle of venison. For Eastern cuisine, consider Cantonese roast pork (char siu) or a delicate mushroom hot pot. 🥂 Perfect for a sophisticated dinner, a special family meal, or a wine tasting focused on high-altitude Pinot Noirs. Its versatility also makes it suitable for a relaxed evening with gourmet food.
