The gorgeous 2010 Alto Adige Pinot Nero Barthenau Vigna S. Urbano shows an elegant and elaborately dressed up interpretation of the delicate Pinot Nero grape (aged in barrique). This is a wine with huge aromatic intensity that peels off layer after layer to reveal small berry, dried cassis, honey-coated almond, grapefruit zest, tar, dark spice and pressed violets. This wonderful wine manages to be both elegant and powerful at the same time. You could drink it now or wait a few years more.
