Niedrist 2021 Alto Adige Pinot Nero Riserva 'Girlan' 750ml

[2020 vintage] The 2020 Blauburgunder Riserva opens with an exotic blend of savory herbs, cedar shavings and dried flowers before settling on musky red currants. It washes across the palate with textures of pure silk, slowly saturating with a blend of red and blue fruits as brisk acidity maintains freshness. This finishes savory and long, leaving a gentle tinge of minerality and hints of licorice.
