There’s a certain string of energy, mixed with balanced opulence, that ties the wines of this family estate together. The winery is run by husband-and-wife team Ignaz Niedrist and Elisabeth Berger. Their vineyards are located throughout the region, and they use the best sources for each varietal. While not certified, the family practices organic farming, and yields are kept drastically low, nearly one-third from what regulations state. The Blauburgunder (Pinot Nero) Riserva ferments and ages in barriques (only 25% new) for twelve to fourteen months, and while this adds textural depth, the aromas and flavors are pure Pinot Noir.
Vinous: 93 Points
Bright ruby red with a slightly brightening rim; smoky and fruity nuances of wild berries with a touch of orange in the background, smooth structure on the palate with fine, well-integrated tannins and a beautiful, lingering finish.
