Arzio 2011, Alto Adige DOC, Baron di Pauli

Arzio is the flagship red from Baron di Pauli’s Arzenhof estate in Caldaro, Alto Adige (northern Italy near the Alps). It is a Bordeaux-style blend grown on mineral-rich slopes above Lake Caldaro. The 2011 shows over a decade of quiet development with dark cherry, graphite, cedar, and cocoa in balanced form.

Taste and texture
Dark ruby color. Ripe black and red fruit, violet, sweet spice, and a touch of cocoa. Fine-grained tannins and a cool mineral finish give length and composure.

Grapes
Merlot 50% • Cabernet Sauvignon 25% • Cabernet Franc 25%

Winemaking

  • Spontaneous fermentation in wooden vats

  • Three-week maceration on skins

  • 18 months in small oak barrels, 70% new

  • Bottled May 2013 after light filtration

  • Released after extended bottle aging

How to enjoy
Decant 45 to 60 minutes. Serve at 60 to 64°F. Excellent with grilled ribeye, braised short ribs, porcini risotto, or aged hard cheeses.

Vintage note
Drinking beautifully now with several years of positive evolution ahead.
