ATON PINOT NOIR RISERVA

“Aton”, after the ancient Egyptian sun god, who rose above every other divine being in the representation of a sun disk. As an abstract idea and spiritualized concept, Aton is the source of light and life.

The 2019 vintage of “Aton” Pinot Noir Riserva Alto Adige DOC comes from the selection of the best grapes in medium and higher altitudes between 400 and 600 meters a.s.l. The vines, which are up to 61 years old with greatly reduced yields, are located on both sides of the valley in Glen and Barleith and benefit from the complex, predominantly clay and limestone soils with traces of marl.

The higher the mountain profile, the more light, sunshine hours, and freshness reach the vineyards. Long hours of sunshine in a fresh climate and a large day/night temperature differences result in a Pinot Noir of great elegance with a fresh and expressive presence. The selection of the two highest quality plots in an ideal combination of orientation and altitude allow a higher phenolic grape ripeness without excessive sugar content and a natural medium to high acidity that distin-guishes the “Aton” Pinot Noir Riserva 2019 with structure, elegance, and finesse. “Aton” sends you on a unique sensory journey that engages the senses in the discovery of its personality. A journey that tells the story of Alto Adige and delights lovers of Pinot Noir.
