The St. Pauls 2019 Alto Adige Pinot Noir Luzia is a lean-bodied expression with a fragrant and deeply floral bouquet. You get the whole range of mountain flowers here from wild violets to edelweiss, all backed by crisp cassis and fragoline di bosco. Those vivid floral and berry nuances are framed by that ever-present minerality that is such a classic feature of Alto Adige wines. Production of this wine is generous, with 100,000 wines released. I recommend drinking this value wine within the next few years to enjoy the freshness and youthfulness of the bouquet.

The 2018 Alto Adige Pinot Noir Luzia is a pure expression of the grape with a dark and compact core of cassis and black currant. Even though this was not a particularly hot vintage, this wine reveals a specifically Mediterranean personality with that dark fruit and some accompanying tones of Italian herb or oregano. The mouthfeel is lean and compact, and the wine is ready to drink now. With 40,000 bottles made, you get great value here.

The 2017 Alto Adige Pinot Noir Luzia is a textbook rendition of this grape from a warm vintage. The bouquet shows aromas of candied cherry, wild blueberry and pressed violets. This is a wine best enjoyed young while those berry aromas remain bright and fragrant. The lean finish is moderate in terms of length and power. This is a silky, delicate rendition that would pair with game hen or simple veal dishes. Bottle production is 40,000 units strong.

Dark garnet and ruby highlights mark the appearance of this saturated and concentrated wine. The 2016 Alto Adige Pinot Noir Luzia offers a slightly more robust and opulent expression of this fragrant red grape. The bouquet shows dark currant and candied cherry aromas with thicker layers of pressed rose petal and moist earth. The textural layering of the wine is thicker and denser than the standard interpretation of Pinot Noir.

The St. Paul's 2014 Alto Adige Pinot Noir Luzia is a fresh and easy expression of the grape that delivers subdued tones of wild berry, licorice and balsam herb. The wine is polished and fresh with an easy-going approach. It does not deliver the depth or complexity that you get with this grape in the best vintages. Instead, it shows bright freshness and pretty fruit flavors with distant tobacco and smoke on the finish.
