This Pinot Nero is characterised by strength and elegance and can withstand any international comparison. A spe - cial red wine in every respect colour, bouquet and flavour alike. Complex and multifaceted, with intense fruit aromas and an appealing vanilla scent which is the outcome of vinification and maturation in small oak casks. A wine like few others, recommended for special occasions and festi - ve banquets, an exceptional accompaniment to barbecued or roast meat dishes. Yet it is also a wine to be enjoyed for contemplation; a wine which is even more forthcoming following several years of maturation in the bottle.

"Compatto al naso grazie ai sentori di prugne nere, amarene e foglia di tè verde. Speziato il sottofondo con note di bacche di ginepro. Corpo pieno, tannini rotondi ed un finale potente e leggermente alcolico nell'impostazione ma di indubbia qualità. Bevi ora fino al 2023."
