Alois Lageder Mimuet Pinot Noir 2023 from Alto Adige is a beautifully lifted, garnet–red pinot that marries alpine freshness with fine Italian polish, delivering a silky, quietly serious expression of the Dolomiti hills. This Alois Lageder Mimuet Pinot Noir 2023 focuses on precision and lightness, drawn from cooler, limestone–rich sites that keep the fruit crisp and vibrant.

In the glass you’ll see garnet with a ruby shimmer and aromas of red berries, cherry and cranberry, laced with spice, dried flowers and delicate woody notes. The palate is medium–bodied, elegant and light–footed, showing juicy red fruits over fine, silky tannins, a subtle mineral thread and a fresh, gently bitter twist that extends the finish. It’s supple, refined and moreish, a pinot that feels both approachable now and nicely poised for a few years in the cellar.

On the table, it’s an absolute winner with roast chook, duck breast, pork fillet or mushroom risotto, where that freshness and spice really sing. It also works beautifully with charcuterie, mild cheeses, grilled salmon or thyme–roasted veg, making it a versatile, food–friendly northern Italian pinot for everything from midweek pasta to a long Sunday lunch.
