Pinot Nero Grande Cantina Viticoltori 1960

This 1960 Pinot Nero is a red wine produced by Grande cantina viticoltori, operating under the Consorzio Cantine Sociali del Trentino. The wine originates from Trentino, a renowned wine region in northern Italy known for its strong cooperative tradition that functions alongside independent estates.The landscape of Trentino is distinctly mountainous, dominated by the Dolomites and the Adige Valley. Vineyards are frequently established on steep slopes and terraces that stretch from the valley floor up to high altitudes, creating a varied and dramatic terroir. The climate is a unique blend of alpine and Mediterranean influences. The high peaks of the Dolomites protect the region from cold northern winds, while the proximity to Lake Garda in the south provides a moderating effect on temperatures. This results in a continental climate with significant temperature differences between day and night, offering favorable conditions for viticulture in this rugged terrain. The region boasts a long winemaking history that dates back to pre-Roman times.The wine is crafted from Pinot Nero, the Italian name for the Pinot Noir grape. While Trentino cultivates a wide range of both international and local grape varieties, Pinot Nero is also typically found in other northern Italian areas such as Alto Adige, Lombardy, and Oltrepò Pavese. This particular vintage was bottled at 12% alcohol.

About the region

Trentino is a recognized wine region located in the northern Italian region of Trentino-Alto Adige. The landscape is distinctly mountainous and is dominated by the Dolomites as well as the Adige Valley. The vineyards are often laid out on steep slopes and terraces that stretch from the valley floor up to high altitudes, which creates a varied and dramatic terroir.

The climate in Trentino is a unique blend of alpine and Mediterranean-like influences. The high mountain peaks of the Dolomites protect the region from cold winds from the north, while the proximity to Lake Garda in the south has a moderating effect on the temperature. This results in a continental climate with significant temperature differences between day and night, which provides favorable conditions for viticulture in the mountainous terrain.

The region has a long wine history that dates back to pre-Roman times. Today, Trentino is known for a strong cooperative tradition that operates side by side with independent wineries. The area is recognized for its production of sparkling wines made according to the traditional method, as well as a wide range of still wines. The vineyards are planted with both international grape varieties such as Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, as well as local varieties such as Teroldego, Marzemino and Nosiola.

Super service and very helpful. Lost one of the bottles during transport and reported it to Bottles With History. It was fixed immediately and a new bottle was sent immediately. (Actually a better wine in my opinion) It is very difficult to guarantee that older bottles are drinkable, like the Barolo from 69 I tried. Anders came to the rescue again and of course sent a new bottle of the same caliber. Thank you very much for the good service, can definitely recommend shopping here in safe hands.
