Pinot noir Riserva Baltasius 2019, Schloss Englar
A monumental red for charisma, finesse, and stylistic rigor. The aromatic profile alternates crisp red fruits with mineral and spicy notes of extreme refinement. On the palate, it is straight, savory, and characterized by a masterful balance between the power of the vintage and the verticality of the Appiano Monte terroir. A stylistic feat that represents the pinnacle of noble Alto Adige winemaking.
Pinot noir Riserva Baltasius 2019, Schloss Englar
The Pinot Noir Riserva "Baltasius" 2019 from Schloss Englar is a monumental work, the noblest soul of an estate that has been producing wine for centuries within the walls of a Gothic castle. Johannes Graf Khuen-Belasi interprets Pinot Noir with a precision reminiscent of the great Premier Cru wines of Gevrey-Chambertin, but with the vibrant energy of the porphyry and limestone soils of South Tyrol. 2019 was an extraordinary vintage: here the Baltasius achieves a tailor-made definition. On the nose, it is a concert of rare elegance: clear notes of wild strawberry, blackcurrant, and violet blend with deep hints of pink pepper, damp undergrowth, incense, and a mineral streak that evokes graphite. On the palate, it is aristocratic and lively; the entry is silky but endowed with an electric acidic backbone, with noble and tight tannins that extend toward a savory, endless finish characterized by aristocratic balsamic freshness.
