Alto Adige Pinot Nero Riserva DOC 'Lafoa' 2021 (750 ml.) Colterenzio
The Pinot Noir from the prestigious 'Lafòa' line of Colterenzio is a full-bodied and elegant red wine, a true excellence of the Alps. It is made from the homonymous grapes used in purity, cultivated in vineyards from three different plots located at 400 meters above sea level on morainic soils. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in wooden barrels for 3 weeks at a controlled temperature, followed by malolactic fermentation in wood, and aging for 12 months in new barriques and second and third passage barriques. The bouquet features notes of small red fruits, berries, orange peel, red flowers, and hints of toasting and spices. On the palate, it presents a linear, refined, and structured texture, with dense and delicate tannins. It pairs perfectly with red meats, stews, roasts, hearty pasta dishes, aged cheeses, and white meats.

LINEA LA FOA
Lafóa: from the pilot vineyard to flagship wines
The name Lafóa evokes the beginning of the quality revolution in South Tyrol and the pioneering work carried out by Cantina Colterenzio in the 1980s. At that time, the pioneer Luis Raifer on the namesake vineyard not only planted new grape varieties, but also introduced new quality standards: lower yield per grape and wine of better quality. It was precisely on this pilot vineyard that the “Lafóa idea” was born: the introduction of new quality standards that are still rigorously followed today by both the winegrower members and the collaborators in the winery. Today, Lafóa is synonymous with whites and reds with a strong structure, refined and with great aging potential.
THE WINE
The Pinot Nero Riserva Linea Lafóa from Colterenzio is a wine with a strong character, elegant and rich in finesse. The intense fruity aromas are well integrated with soft tannins and acidity, in a harmonious blend. A wine created in the style of the great Pinot Noir from Burgundy, complex, balanced, persistent, and with great aging potential.
THE COMPANY
Archduke Sigismund, resident at Castel Firmiano in the 15th century, was not the first to appreciate the good wine from Colterenzio. In fact, already around 15 B.C. the Roman colonist Cornelius recognized the extraordinary fertility of this land and decided to settle here, thus laying the foundations for the current winegrowing vocation of Colterenzio. His farm "Cornelianum," which gave its name to the village of Cornaiano, stood on a hill not far away. The ancient tradition was renewed in 1960, when 28 winemakers founded Cantina Colterenzio. Others joined them over the years, and today Colterenzio counts nearly 300 passionate winegrower members who contribute grapes from about 300 hectares of vineyard owned by them.
