Tasting Notes
A fun blend of grapes from the region to create an everyday glass of red wine that anyone can appreciate without overthinking. Red fruits of the forest, present tannin, lovely acidity.
Cultivation
Due to their different maturation, every single variety is picked and kept separately until the final blend is made just before bottling. This allows them to save the character of each single variety and optimize the quality of this cuvee by blending the 4 different varieties.
Aging
50% of this cuvee is aged for 12 months in French and American oak barriques.
A brand from Castelfeder, Pertico currently features a Pinot Grigio and a red blend.
To enter into the world of Castelfeder is to soar across an unspoken threshold into the lush valleys of the high Adige River, hence the regional name, Alto Adige. Driving from Lake Garda, north from Veneto, through Trentino, you discover yourself, without warning, in what feels, sounds, and tastes like German wine country. Apple trees cover the valley floor, rubbing shoulders with Schiava, Pinot Grigio, and Lagrein vines. The generational devotion of the Giovanett family is deeply Italian--the winery is run by the third generation of grape growers. Alfons Giovanett founded the Castelfeder winery in 1969 and it is now his son, Gunther, and grandson, Ivan, who have taken over the management of the winery.
This transition to the younger generation has brought a delightful qualitative shift as well as a more modern production approach. While other nearby producers are making Chardonnay and Pinot Grigio that is mineral and acidic, Castelfeder produces wines that are lean and light with texture and depth as an added dimension. Castelfeder excels in bringing out the purest, freshest expression of their terroir. And the Pertico brand is no exception to this.
