A visit to Vinitaly 2010
Of Vinitaly 2010 I want to expose here the impression on the wines tasted from the region Trentino and Friuli.
Pinot Noir from Trentino, in order of my personal score:
8 – Castel Juva 2008 – Az. Agr. Unterortl – lightly boisè, concentrated and tasty
7 – Abtei Muri Riserva 2007 – Tenuta Muri-Gries – marked boisè tone but elegant
7 – Mazon Riserva 2007 – Tenuta J.Hofstatter – intense, same as above
7 – Burgum Novum Riserva 2007 – Castelfeder – same as above
7 – Linticarius Riserva 2007 – Tiefenbrunner – same as above
6½ – Maso Reiner 2007 – Kettmeier
6½ – Matan 2007 – Ansitz Pfitscher
6½ – St. Daniel Riserva 2007 – Colterenzio Screckbichl
6½ – Sandbichler Riserva 2007 – H.Lun cantina Vini
6½ – Pinot Nero Riserva 2007 – Az. Agr. Stroblhof
6 – Mason 2008 – Manincor
6 – St. Valentin 2007 – Cantina S. Michele Appiano
I also loved the Pinot Grigio of Simon di Brazzan made with a long fermentation on the stalks and I found also very interesting the sweet Ramandolo passito of Maurizio Zaccomer, like also his lovely sweet Piccolit.
