Pinot Nero DOC
100 % Pinot Nero. The nose opens with notes of Maraschino cherries and raspberries, marzipan and plum jam, cloves and cinnamon. In the end, aromas of underbrush are perceived. On the palate, the wine is fresh and lively thanks to the elegant tannins. Inviting and flavorful, “a white among reds.”
“Since its foundation in 1880, the winery has focused on the quality of the grapes and bringing out the best in them. Special attention has always been given to using the minimum and most selective chemical substances during cultivation and fertilization.”
