Ca' di Alte

Pinot Noir

Wine Description:

The Pinot Nero shows just what can be achieved with the cool nights (thanks to altitude) here. The wine has good colour and an appealing cherry perfume, decent depth on the palate and good length. It puts many a Bourgogne Pinot Noir to shame.

Producer Description

The Ca’ di Alte wines are made at Cantina Colli Vicentini, near Verona, under the watchful eye of winemaker and director Alberto Marchisio.

The grapes for the Ca' di Alte range are grown primarily on hills south of Vicenza, known as the Colli Berici, which ensures lower yields and optimum ripeness. With Alberto's hand in the winery, the delicate aromas in the unoaked whites have been preserved. 

The Pinot Nero shows the benefits of the vineyard's high elevations, which create cool nights and excellent freshness in the final wines. This expression is defined by appealing cherry perfume, decent depth on the palate and excellent length. It puts many a Bourgogne Pinot Noir to shame. 

Ca’ di Alte’s Frizzante and Spumante Proseccos also reflect Alberto's winemaking prowess. Delicate, clean and balanced, with 15 - 16 grammes per litre of residual sugar, these sparkling wines are fresh, fruity and easy to drink.
