Characteristic: This Pinot noir, which has an outstanding quality potential, is created wholly sound, fully ripe grapes. A low yield is definitely a further measure of quality and hallmark for the wines our cellar. After a gentle fermentation on the skins, we age the wines in 500 liter oak casks. An intense cherry red, aromas of orchard fruit and wild berries, cranberries in particular, and well integrated notes of oak unify in this wine of well-balanced structure, soft tannins and a velvety finish.
Recommendation: This wine is an ideal partner to heavier meat dishes, game and piquant hard cheeses.

"Ricco al naso con note di petali di rosa, fragole e rosa canina questo affascinante vino che colpisce al primo impatto. Corpo pieno, tannini setosi ed un finale scolpito e dall'equilibrio autoritario. Bevi ora o invecchia."
