The wine

Since the dawn of time, wine and religion have a strong bond. When in the middle of the XXIX century some Benedictine monks expelled from Muri, in Switzerland, found refuge in the monastery of Gries, they did not delay in applying the rule "ora et labora" even in the luxuriant vineyards that surrounded the convent, so they began to produce wines intended for several years for internal consumption only at the monastery. To date, the Muri-Gries winery produces and markets quality wines, distinguishing itself from other South Tyrolean realities for the primary role with which red wines are invested.

The young Pinot Noir 2012 has a beautiful bright ruby red color. From the glass there is an impetus of aromas of fragrant, fresh and fleshy fruit: cherries, blackberries, raspberries and other small berries in addition to elegant forest notes of fern that refresh a hint of alcoholic warmth, still a hint of aromatic herbs and slight spiciness. On the palate it shows a young verve, it is a snappy wine, characterized by the crunchiness of the fruit and tasty acidity that makes you want to drink. A medium and agile structure supported by present tannin that accompanies until the slightly astringent closure.

The holding of mass and religious services saved thousands of hectares of vineyards and perpetuated centuries of tradition which otherwise would have been lost. Some of these monasteries have survived to the present day and safeguard the history of wine in relation to its holy and ceremonial side, yet in a sincere and beneficial way too. The South...
