The Elena Walch 2019 Alto Adige Pinot Nero Ludwig (with 10,000 bottles on the market) shows dark aromas of purple fruit and blackcurrant with tar, licorice and smoke. This expression of Blauburgunder, as the grape is identified in German on the back label, focuses on the more concentrated and rich side of the spectrum.
Ludwig by Elena Walch has an intense and vibrant ruby-red colour. The nose opens with hints of ripe fruit, among which cherry and plum stand out, enriched with spicy notes of cinnamon and cloves. On the palate, it is elegant and spicy, with soft tannins and a pleasantly fresh and persistent finish.

Elena Walch is a leading family-run winery in South Tyrol, the flagship of Italian wine production and internationally renowned. Promoter of quality and innovation, Elena Walch has contributed to leading the South Tyrolean qualitative revolution thus earning great local and international consideration. Architect by profession, Elena Walch married the heir to one of the oldest winemaking families in the region, bringing with her new concepts of modernization of the traditional company.

Today the business management is entrusted to the daughters Julia and Karoline Walch, the fifth generation of the family. The company philosophy is closely linked to its terroir: the principle is that the wines must be a unique expression of their soil, climate and work done in the vineyard, and that the vineyard must be worked according to the principles of sustainability and as such left in legacy to the next generations.

The profound belief that the quality of wine is born in the vineyard therefore brings with it the desire to work without compromise, respecting the individual characteristics of the single vineyard. With 60 hectares under cultivation, among which the two vineyards VIGNA Castel Ringberg in Caldaro and VIGNA Kastelaz in Termeno stand out, Elena Walch is one of the most important winemakers in South Tyrol. The wines are distinguished by character, elegance and strong personality, combined with the highest professionalism of realization.

The superb climatic conditions and the exceptional location of the estates result in fresh and fruity white wines, as well as concentrated and smooth red wines.

The Alto Adige DOC (Denominazione di Origine Controllata) is a prestigious wine appellation located in the northernmost part of Italy, nestled in the region of South Tyrol, also known as Südtirol. This area is renowned for its unique blend of Italian and Austrian cultures, which is reflected in its winemaking traditions and the varietal diversity. The region's cool climate and high altitude create an ideal environment for growing a variety of grapes, leading to the production of wines with distinct freshness and aromatic intensity.

Alto Adige DOC is especially noted for its white wines, such as Pinot Grigio, Gewürztraminer, and Sauvignon Blanc, which are highly appreciated for their crispness, elegance, and aromatic complexity. The area also produces excellent reds, including Schiava and Lagrein, which are cherished for their robust flavors and smooth tannins. These wines typically exhibit characteristics influenced by the terroir, such as mineral notes derived from the mountainous terrain and a vibrant acidity due to the cooler growing conditions.

The Alto Adige DOC appellation ensures that all wines produced under its label meet rigorous standards of quality and authenticity. This is achieved through strict regulations governing viticulture and winemaking practices, including yield limits, grape varieties, and aging requirements. As a result, Alto Adige DOC wines are not only a symbol of high quality but also a true expression of the region's rich cultural heritage and winemaking expertise.
