About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The Pinot Nero grows in Piedmont at around 300 metres above sea level. The vineyards are shaped by hills, Alpine breezes and warm sunshine.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested and selected at ideal ripeness. After destemming, the berries are crushed. The must ferments at a controlled temperature, and the skins are stirred regularly to extract as much tannin and aroma as possible.

Ageing

The wine ages for 12 months in steel tanks, which gives it an expressive flavour while preserving its fresh berry notes.

Tasting profile

Elegant. The nose shows delicate raspberry and subtle hints of dried herbs.

Serving and pairing

Pairs especially well with mature cheeses and game.
