Details of the location

The vineyards extend over south-east to north-east and west-facing sites, between 400 and 550 meters above sea level. They are well ventilated and benefit from low night-time temperatures during the ripening period. The soil consists of mineral marl on limestone gravel.

From grape to wine

Carefully selected ripe grapes ferment in a wooden vat at 25 °C with a twoweek maceration period. This is followed by malolactic fermentation and a 12-month aging in barriques. The wine is lightly filtered before bottling.

The wine in the glass

− brilliant ruby red
− expressive bouquet of cherries, violets and marzipan
− an abundance of cherry fruit on the palate, smooth with fine, elegant tannin

The perfect accompaniment

This Pinot Nero Riserva goes very well with tasty meat dishes, game and piquant hard cheeses. It is also an excellent accompaniment to seasoned starters and poultry.
