Pinot Nero, a red grape of recognized nobility, which has found its favorite environment on the slopes of the mountains and the Dolomites that surround the Valle dei Laghi.
A well-drained soil of limestone and silicate origin, surrounded by the Gardesane Prealps, refreshed by the incessant action of the Ora del Garda and Pelèr wind coming from the Adamello-Brenta Dolomites. A superb terroir for the cultivation of this gentle and delicate grape, which requires great attention from the vineyard to the cellar.
A wine that makes the heart beat, the emotion and passion from which the grapes are born which then arrives in the cellar and after a long aging in the precious glass.
Elegant, passionate, melodic like the heartbeat with each new emotion.
Grape variety
Pinot Noir in purity, the nobility and elegance of Burgundy that combine with the harmony of the Valle dei Laghi.
Vineyards
a vineyard of over 10 years, in the period of its maximum expression, located at 250m above sea level on a soil of glacial origin and of limestone and silicate composition, which increases the minerality and flavor of the wine.
Harvest
in mid-September, carefully following the climatic and vegetative trends of the year, manual harvesting and selection of the grapes.
Vinification & refinement
shortly after crushing-destemming, the must undergoes alcoholic fermentation with indigenous yeasts in truncated conical oak vats. Subsequently it is decanted into small French oak barrels where the malolactic fermentation takes place which lasts for over 20 days, giving the wine an almost velvety consistency. After this phase, the wine ages for over 10 months in the same small oak barrels where the malolactic fermentation took place shortly before. The wine is then decanted into steel tanks where it remains until bottling. Finally, it concludes its refinement with a few months in the bottle, acquiring an elegant structure and intriguing organoleptic complexity over time.
Organoleptic characteristics
delicate ruby red. With a refined scent with hints of raspberry and cranberries, accompanied by a slightly spicy touch of vanilla and nutmeg. A melody of aromas that finds its perfect fulfillment in the mouth, with an extremely elegant entrance, round and enveloping palate with notes of red fruit and spices, soft and perfectly integrated tannin. Round, harmonious and persistent finish, which makes the heart beat for refinement and innate elegance.
Tasting & Pairing
