Pinot Noir Zizers AOC Graubünden - Attila Florian - 2023

150 cl

Alcohol content: 13% vol.

Grape varieties: 100% Pinot Noir

Vinification:

Selective and meticulous hand-picking, gentle fermentation, spontaneous if possible, manual immersion of the mash and use of a sieve variant (continuous immersion of the mash), long maceration time, manual scooping onto the press, transfer to the barriques using gravity only, BSA only in the following spring, followed by initial, moderate sulphurisation.

Maturation for 12 months in barriques (new wood 25%), 2 and 3 layers.

Tasting note:

Marvellous aroma of red fruits and flower meadows, beautifully integrated tannins. Surprisingly accessible despite its youthful age. With increasing age, extract, tannins and balanced acidity combine to form a harmonious whole. Great ageing potential.

Vineyards:

The grapes come from 3 different parcels in Zizers, "Alte Reben" vines are 70 years old, "Burgunder Klone" vines are 40 years old and "Felder" parcel.

Attila Florian:

After years in the catering trade as a sommelier, Attila began cultivating the first parcel (old vines) in 2015.

Over the years, Attila gained more and more knowledge and experience in viticulture and vinification in the Torkel,

Attila now cultivates 5 plots of Pinot and Sauvignon Blanc from what was initially one plot. The plots are passionately tended and cared for according to organic guidelines.

Bündner Herrschaft:

Often referred to as the "Burgundy of Switzerland", this wine-growing region regularly produces top wines that enjoy worldwide recognition. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are particularly noteworthy.
