VanillaDry and smooth, with soft tannin and a firm core of fruit. Weathered porphyry rock under the vines and big swings between day and night give it a spicy, elegant edge.
The finish is dry, with the smooth tannin holding to the end. Grower Robert Oberkofler's steep terraces, with slopes of up to 60%, give a delicate, spicy and elegant wine.

Its strongest cards are food and value: a fresh, soft-tannin red for duck and game, among the cheapest Alto Adige Pinot Nero Riservas on this site.
A fresh, soft-tannin Pinot Nero from mountain terraces: it sits well with duck, game, mushrooms, dumplings with speck and white meat alike.
At £20.50, this Riserva is among the cheapest Alto Adige Pinot Nero Riservas on this site. The grower's steep terraces and French oak come with it.
Easy to like: cherry and red berries, soft tannin and a touch of vanilla. The 14% alcohol and oak spice make it a little fuller than a first Pinot Nero.
A named-farm Riserva from a Bolzano cooperative of 224 families, dressed up enough for a roast duck dinner at about £20.
A Riserva with French oak behind it: it will keep to about 2030, though it is a wine to enjoy rather than a long-term keeper.
Above £20 and a Riserva, so more a Sunday or dinner-party red than a weeknight one.

The Bachmannhof farm sits in St. Georgen above Bolzano, at the start of one of the city's steepest roads. Its Pinot Nero terraces reach 700 metres and slopes of up to 60%.
Italian wine law sorts bottles into a pyramid. DOCG sits at the top: tightly drawn boundaries, prescribed grapes, mandatory ageing, government tasting before release. DOC is the same idea with looser thresholds. IGT (Indicazione Geografica Tipica) is broader still, requiring only that 85% of the grapes come from the named territory.
Alto Adige/Südtirol is in the DOC tier. That is not a quality verdict, it is a description of how much freedom the producer has at vinification and ageing.
Alto Adige/Südtirol falls within Trentino-Alto Adige, covering Grapes must be grown in the province of Bolzano. The zone takes in the whole vineyard territory of 36 communes along the Adige valley. It runs from Salorno, Termeno and Cortaccia in the south, past Bolzano, up to Merano and Tirolo. It also covers parts of. The denomination is further divided into 6 sub-zones.

Made at Cantina Produttori Bolzano, Bolzano. Directions
Wine route in the zone: Strada del Vino dell'Alto Adige (Südtiroler Weinstraße).
Of the £20.50 the page prints, about £6.64 is tax: £3.22 of UK duty on a 75 cl bottle at 14% alcohol, and £3.42 of VAT.
The Pinot Nero grows on steep terraces up to 700 metres around the Bachmannhof farm. Keeping terraces that steep in order is heavy hand work, and that cost sits in every bottle.
The wine rests in French oak barrels and then in bottle before release. So the cooperative holds the stock and the barrels longer than it does for its plain Pinot Nero.
Cantina Bolzano is a cooperative of 224 wine-growing families, so one cellar and one sales team spread their costs over many wines, which keeps a named-farm Riserva near £20.
The one shop on this page has the 2022 in its sale at £20.50, so the price today sits below the shop's usual figure for this wine.
Cherry fruit, soft tannin and oak spice: this Riserva suits roast duck, game, mushroom risotto and the bread dumplings of the Bolzano valleys.
The cherry and red berry fruit in this Alto Adige Pinot Nero meets the sweetness of roast duck head on. Its soft tannin does not fight the lean meat, and the tobacco note from the oak picks up the roasting flavours.
Try with: Roast Duck · Duck breast · Venison Stew
A mountain Pinot Nero keeps its freshness, and that lifts a buttery mushroom risotto instead of sitting heavy on it. The leathery, earthy side of the wine matches the mushrooms.
Try with: Porcini mushroom risotto · Truffle risotto · Pumpkin risotto · More pairings →
Bread dumplings with speck are the home cooking of the valleys around Bolzano. This medium-weight red has enough fruit to carry the smoked ham and enough freshness to cut through the butter.
Try with: Canederli · Spatzle or Tyrolean dumplings · Roast pork
Soft tannin and ripe cherry fruit make this Riserva an easy red for white meat. Roast chicken brings out the fruit, and the wine's spice from French oak gives plain pork something to lean on.
Try with: Roast chicken · Roast pork · Pork belly · More pairings →
The freshness of a Pinot Nero grown high above Bolzano cuts the fat of lamb chops and a cheese board. Keep the cheeses medium-aged: a very strong one would bury this delicate red.
Try with: Lamb chops · Rack of lamb · Cheese board · More pairings →
Chilli heat makes the 14% alcohol in this wine burn and hides its delicate red fruit. Sweet and sour sauces make a dry Pinot Nero taste thin and sour beside them.
Skip with: Lamb bhuna · Green curry · Sweet and sour pork · Szechuan beef · Pairing guide →
A Riserva from French oak that is ready now. We would drink it from now to about 2030; a few years in the cellar will soften the oak spice further.
Best in the years above; holds without falling over either side.
Pour it straight from the bottle.
Aim for the cooler end on a warm day; warmer end opens up more aromatics.
