Released one year later (as if it were a Riserva), the 2016 Alto Adige Pinot Nero Mason di Mason delivers a bright, mid-weight approach with buoyant aromas of wild berry, candied orange peel, honey-coated almond and fragrant essence of violets. This vintage shows a cheerful approach that is brimming with electric energy, attractive freshness and purity. There is nothing not to like here, except maybe the high retail price. Only 3,500 bottles were made.
