Description
Wilhelm Walch is a well-established family winery in the heart of South Tyrol (Alto Adige), founded in 1869 and known for its focus on mountain terroirs and elegant, pure style. It operates sustainably and with minimal intervention, relying on local and international varieties that reflect the alpine character of the region.
Variety: Pinot Noir
Terroir: The vineyards are located in the highlands of the Trento valley, on alluvial-limestone soils rich in minerals. The altitude reaches 500 m, and the large temperature amplitudes between day and night help to accumulate aromatic complexity and freshness in the grapes.
Vinification: Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks, with a light maceration extraction to preserve the elegant structure. Aging is short – a few months in stainless steel tanks and partly in large French barrels to preserve freshness and the typical fruit character.
Organoleptic characteristics
Aroma: Fine and delicate nose palette with red fruits – cherry, wild strawberry and hints of violets and dry foliage.
Taste: Fresh and light, with elegant tannins, balanced acidity and a clean, mineral finish.
Food pairings: Suitable for serving with duck, veal carpaccio, roasted chicken or pasta with wild mushrooms.
Serving temperature: 14–16°C
Aging potential: Up to 4–5 years
