St. Daniel Pinot Noir Riserva

A Blauburgunder from the Riserva category that shows how far the grape variety has developed in South Tyrol: dense, spicy, and with the velvety finish that only longer barrel aging can provide.

The Kellerei Schreckbichl, also known as Colterenzio, is based in Girlan near Eppan and is one of the pioneers of South Tyrolean quality viticulture. The St. Daniel site is located on warm, calcareous soils on the Eppan hill – ideal for Pinot Noir, which gains structure and depth here without losing its elegance. For the Riserva, only the best grapes are selected, and the wine is subsequently aged in wooden barrels for significantly longer than the base version.

In the glass, there are notes of sour cherry, dried walnut shell, and a hint of cinnamon, underpinned by a fine vanilla note from the barrique. On the palate, the wine feels juicy and dense at the same time; the tannins are ripe and velvety, the finish long and slightly spicy. Serving temperature 16–17 °C, best decanted half an hour before drinking.

A wine for braised veal, duck with dark cherries, or aged mountain cheese – and for evenings when there is a little more time for the wine.

The Winery

Kellerei Schreckbichl

Kellerei Schreckbichl has stood for South Tyrolean winemaking art since 1960. Back then, 26 winegrowers joined forces to be more independent and to be able to manage their vineyards even better together. Over the decades, this idea has become a success story: today, the cooperative has around 300 members who together cultivate about 300 hectares of vineyards – between 230 and 650 meters above sea level, in one of the best locations in South Tyrol.

Tradition and modernity go hand in hand here: careful manual labor in the vineyard, natural cultivation, and state-of-the-art cellar technology complement each other to create a business that not only preaches responsibility but lives it – for example with its own photovoltaics and heat recovery in the cellar. These high altitudes between Alpine air and Mediterranean warmth give the grapes exactly the freshness and ripeness that makes South Tyrolean wines so special.

The range includes Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, and Gewürztraminer as well as Pinot Noir, Merlot, and the local Vernatsch – authentic wines with a clear regional expression. Schreckbichl is therefore much more than a cooperative: it is an association with an attitude that shows how community and quality can strengthen each other.
