Aurelie Pinot Nero Vulcano 2021 Dornach

Aurélie Pinot Nero Vigneti delle Dolomiti Vulcano 43 is a red wine produced by Patrick Uccelli in Solorno in Alto Adige and obtained from pure Pinot Nero grapes coming from a very mineral area 400 meters above sea level, rich in porphyry, an effusive volcanic rock (also known as rhyolite). The harvest is manual, the spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts and whole bunch maceration of non-stemmed grapes; the refinement lasts a few months in French oak barrels. It is certified organic and biodynamic. Aurélie Pinot Nero Vigneti delle Dolomiti Vulcano 43 has a complex nose that shifts from purely forest notes to woody and spicy hints, on the palate it denotes great freshness and ease of drinking, great elegance and a long finish. To try with game and game

Dornach is a place with a thousand-year history, dating back over 5,000 years. The farm, first officially mentioned in 1288, has been owned by the same family since 1836. Today, Dornach is run by Patrick and his wife Karoline. Patrick, winemaker and oenologist, takes care of the vineyards and winemaking, while Karoline, a biologist, is responsible for the biodiversity within the estate, taking care of flowers, fruit trees, chickens and sheep. On top of all this, she is also an excellent cook.

The estate is located in the southernmost municipality of Alto Adige, on a hill facing west, on the left side of the Adige. Patrick cultivates seven hectares of vineyards, using classic varieties of the area such as Pinot Noir, Pinot Bianco, Incrocio Manzoni and Gewürztraminer. The management is biodynamic, and the vineyards are protected with copper and sulphur. Patrick describes his approach to winemaking as “almost boring”, based on observation, tasting and patience.
