About this wine
Grapes
100% Pinot Nero.
Vinification
The grapes are harvested manually during the first ten days of September. Gentle maceration lasts 10–12 days at 26 °C, and malolactic fermentation is completed.
Ageing
The wine matures for 10 months in 500 L French oak tonneaux, followed by 6 months in bottle.
Technical data

Tasting profile
Light ruby red with garnet reflections. Raspberry and cherry meet undergrowth, sweet spices and a subtle note of withered rose on the nose. The palate is elegant and velvety, with silky tannins and pleasant freshness. The persistent, refined finish returns to red fruit and spices.
Serving and pairing
Serve at 14–16 °C in a large Burgundy glass for Pinot Nero. Decanting is unnecessary; serve directly from the bottle. Pair with beef tagliata, duck, porcini mushrooms or medium-aged cheeses. Ageing potential is 8–10 years.
