We’ve tasted the wines of Castel Sallegg prior to now, however by no means a pinot noir from this Alto Adige operation, which tends to concentrate on extra conventional, native, mountain-friendly varietals.
This expression of the enduring grape blends the smoldering fruit of a basic pinot noir with the gritty sensibility of northern Italy, layering earthy, nearly gravelly notes atop a core of underripe raspberry and cherry parts. Layers of rhubarb and rosemary present a biting, sour-bitter high quality because the end builds, maybe the least pinot-like a part of the expertise but in addition essentially the most Alto Adige-adjacent high quality. The wine finishes clear although gritty with tannins; drinkers could justifiably adore it or hate it, relying on their expectations.
