Description

The red wine 'Planties Rot' is a fine reference, the result of the improvement of the Piwi vines that Michael Sinn is pursuing with the St. Quirinus cellar project. These varieties, which are resistant to fungal diseases, are often at the centre of debates between those who believe that they are incapable of reflecting the terroir of their homeland, thus favouring traditional vines, and those who believe that it is more important to reduce the environmental impact of viticulture, both in terms of reducing the use of chemicals and phytosanitary products, and in terms of reducing the use of heavy machinery in the vineyard. What is certain is that between sustainability and quality, St. Quirinus 'Planties Rot' is a powerful, structured red wine with roaring tannins and friendly fruit. The grapes are grown in the Unterstoan and Putznai areas near the municipality of Tramin. The hilly terrain, at an altitude of about 250 metres above sea level, and the milder climate than in other areas of the province, allow the vines to express their full potential. The soils, rich in dolomite gravel and limestone, ensure freshness in the glass and the grapes are selected at harvest time, with a yield limited to 60 quintals per hectare. The grapes are destemmed and the must remains in contact with the skins during the alcoholic fermentation, which takes place in steel vats at a controlled temperature of 30°C. Malolactic fermentation takes place in steel tanks before the wine is aged in barriques for 24 months. In the glass, 'Planties Rot' has a dark garnet red colour with violet reflections. On the nose, there are hints of black berries such as blackcurrants and blackberries, along with elegant hints of vanilla and toast. The palate is full-bodied, supported by well-integrated tannins, structured, with balanced acidity. Planties Rot is an ideal accompaniment to succulent meat dishes such as roasts and game, but it also pairs well with mature cheeses, offering a satisfying taste experience.
