Origin
Pinot Nero or Pinot Noir has internationally many different names. In Germany, this grape is known as Spätburgunder, for example, in France known as Pinot Noir and the one in Italy as Pinot Nero.
Vintage
After a rainy spring and a sluggish start to summer, August brought the long-awaited turnaround: Sunny and warm days encouraged the ripening of the grapes and allowed early varieties to reach very good quality. Harvest began at the end of August under nearly perfect conditions, accompanied by stable weather lasting into September. With the onset of autumn rains, the harvest of late-ripening red wines became more challenging due to demanding weather conditions. Nevertheless, the vintage produced exciting white wines and early-ripening red wines of remarkable quality.
