Tasting Notes

The Meczan Pinot Nero is distinguished by its unmistakable varietal character, its distinctive aroma and fruity character, by its bright ruby colour with garnet reflexes, and its fresh, stimulating bouquet with seductive hints of woodland berries and cherry. On the palate Meczan is harmonious, sappy and mellow with impressive fruit.

About the Winery

Tenuta J. Hofstätter

Nestled in the beautiful Alto Adige region of Northern Italy, the Tenuta J. Hofstätter winery holds a rich history of exquisite winemaking. Originally established in 1907 by Joseph Hofstätter, this winery has become a cornerstone of the Italian wine industry, known for its top-quality wines that exude both elegance and depth.

With a vineyard spread across 50 hectares, Tenuta J. Hofstätter isn't just large, but also known for its magnificent diversity. The winery's vineyard spans both sides of the Adige River and extends into four different growing zones; each one offering a unique soil composition and microclimate. This myriad of growing conditions leads to a wealth of diverse and versatile wines, each expressing a distinctive character and an intensely pronounced multi-layered depth.

As a family-owned estate now steered by the fourth generation Hofstätter, the winery continues to adhere to its core values of tradition, honesty, and quality. The family believes in working intimately with nature, rejecting intensive farming practices in favour of those that respect the environment and maintain the health of the vineyard; this commitment to sustainable farming shows in every delicious drop of their wine.

Tenuta J. Hofstätter is particularly renowned for their Pinot Noir, a wine that's rare in Italy but thrives in the climatic conditions of their vineyards. They also produce some of the country's finest white wines such as Gewürztraminer and Pinot Bianco in the region.

In a world where wine production often favours quantity over quality, Tenuta J. Hofstätter stands as testament to the brilliance of artisanal winemaking. Through traditional methods along with a deep respect for the land and the grapes, the winery continues to produce some of Italy's most beloved and celebrated wines. With writing this, there is nothing more delightful than enjoying a glass of Tenuta J Hofstätter wine, infused with the taste and soul of Alto Adige.
