    Weingut Gottardi Mazzon, Italy
    The vineyard resides above Neumarkt in the South Tyrol area of Alto Adige. This area has always been known as “Pinot Noir Heaven” and one of the best places in Italy for growing this challenging variety. The estate’s high elevation faces the afternoon sun, making it ideal for cultivating some of Italy’s best Pinot Noir. In 1986, the estate and its 16 acres were purchased by the Gottardi family. The acquisition was a return to winemaking in the region after losing their vineyards to phylloxera and peronospora three generations before. Dedicated exclusively to the cultivation of Pinot Noir, the Gottardi “chateau” has a gravity-fed winery that is customized to better accommodate this delicate variety, bringing out the best of its character in one of Alto Adige’s great crus. In 1995, Gottardi released its first vintage of Pinot Noir, which was awarded best Blauburgunder in Alto Adige. The acclaimed of this first vintage has been followed by years of international recognition.

    Thin-skinned, finicky and temperamental, Pinot Noir is also one of the most rewarding grapes to grow and remains a labor of love for some of the greatest vignerons in Burgundy. Fairly adaptable but highly reflective of the environment in which it is grown, Pinot Noir prefers a cool climate and requires low yields to achieve high quality. Outside of France, outstanding examples come from in Oregon, California and throughout specific locations in wine-producing world. Somm Secret—André Tchelistcheff, California’s most influential post-Prohibition winemaker decidedly stayed away from the grape, claiming “God made Cabernet. The Devil made Pinot Noir.”

    A mountainous northern Italian region heavily influenced by German culture, Trentino-Alto Adige is actually made up of two separate but similar regions: Alto Adige and Trentino.

    Trentino, the southern half, is primarily Italian-speaking and largely responsible for the production of non-native, international grapes. There is a significant quantity of Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio and Merlot produced. But Trentino's native and most unique red variety, Teroldego, while still rare, is gaining popularity. It produces a deeply colored red wine rich in wild blackberry, herb, coffee and cocoa.

    The rugged terrain of German-speaking Alto Adige (also referred to as Südtirol) focuses on small-scale viticulture, with great value placed on local varieties—though international varieties have been widely planted since the 1800s. Sheltered by the Alps from harsh northerly winds, many of the best vineyards are at extreme altitude but on steep slopes to increase sunlight exposure.

    Dominant red varieties include the bold, herbaceous Lagrein and delicate, strawberry-kissed, Schiava, in addition to some Pinot Nero.

    The primary white grapes are Pinot grigio, Gewürztraminer, Chardonnay and Pinot blanc, as well as smaller plantings of Sauvignon blanc, Müller Thurgau. These tend to be bright and refreshing with crisp acidity and just the right amount of texture. Some of the highest quality Pinot grigio in Italy is made here.
