Trentino At a Glance

In the northernmost reaches of Italy, close to the Austrian border, the dramatic landscape is a fitting backdrop to one of the world’s most important wine-producing areas.
Score: 89Vintage 2018Vinous MediaThe 2018 Pinot Nero is a fresh, floral and spicy entry-level effort from Gaierhof. It shows a beautiful display of ripe strawberry, savory herbs and hints of moist earth. Soft textures give way to ripe red fruits, contrasted by saline-minerality and juicy acids, creating a push and pull of sweet and sour that I find quite pleasing. There’s a hint of citrus at the close which frames the experience nicely with a bit of perceivable heat, but this is by no means out of balance.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
