THE WINE

The Red Angel wine of the Jerman winery comes from 100% Pinot Noir grapes grown in the vineyards owned by the winery. We are in Dolegna del Collio in the province of Gorizia. Here the land is called “ponca”; it is a rocky substrate composed of stratified marl and sandstone.

The Jerman winery was the first in Friuli to use the Stelvin screw cap model of the French company Pechiney: the winery chose this very technical closure to keep the fragrance and organoleptic qualities of the wine intact.

THE WINEMAKING

The harvest is strictly manual and occurs in the first days of September, and only the selected grapes are taken to the cellar for winemaking. After fermentation, the wine ages twelve months in small French oak barrels. After blending and bottling, the wine rests in the cellar for a few more months before being placed on the market.

THE TASTING

Light ruby red. The aroma is delightful with delicate fruity hints of small red fruits such as raspberry, which alternate with vegetable notes to close with spicy hints; fruity and fresh on the palate with a perfect match between aromas and flavours. Persistence is also good.

FOOD PAIRINGS

It goes well with fish and white meats and dishes based on white truffles. Try it with a barbecue.
