Description
A Rare Alpine Pinot Noir Expression
The 1973 Pinot Nero Anton Lindner offers a rare chance to explore an aged example of Pinot Noir (Pinot Nero) from Alto Adige, a region known for its cool climate and alpine elegance. Anton Lindner, based in the picturesque mountains of northern Italy, has long been respected for producing pure, site-driven wines that showcase finesse and balance. This bottle represents a traditional, delicate style of Pinot Nero that is increasingly hard to find today.
A Vintage of Classic Freshness
The 1973 vintage in Alto Adige was marked by cooler, balanced conditions, resulting in wines with bright acidity, moderate alcohol, and graceful aromatics. While most Pinot Nero wines are made to be enjoyed in their youth, carefully stored bottles like this one can develop beautifully layered tertiary aromas and silky textures over time.
Elegant Aromatics and Silky Palate
After fifty years, this Pinot Nero shows a pale garnet color with orange-brick hues at the rim. The nose reveals delicate aromas of dried raspberry, rose petals, forest floor, subtle spice, and earthy undertones. On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied and silky, with soft, resolved tannins and fresh acidity supporting its gentle, savory flavors. The finish is long, airy, and elegant, capturing the alpine freshness and finesse that defines Alto Adige Pinot Nero.
Serving and Pairing Recommendations
Older Pinot Nero requires gentle handling: stand the bottle upright for several days before serving to allow sediment to settle, and decant lightly just before pouring. Serve slightly below room temperature (around 16–17 °C) to emphasize its delicate bouquet and refined palate. Pair with dishes such as roasted poultry, mushroom-based risotto, charcuterie, or mild cheeses to highlight its nuanced, mature character.
A Collector’s Alpine Treasure
The 1973 Pinot Nero Anton Lindner is a rare and fascinating find for collectors and lovers of traditionally styled, mature Pinot Noir. It offers a glimpse into the history and terroir of Alto Adige, capturing the elegance and quiet complexity that only time can reveal. A memorable bottle to share with fellow enthusiasts or to enjoy on a special, contemplative occasion.
