Vinification
As is customary for all red grapes, highly selected enzymes and yeasts are added, using advanced winemaking techniques (pump-overs alternated with délestage) and state-of-the-art equipment that allows very gentle pressing, even at the expense of juice yield, in temperature-controlled conical fermenters suitable for both cold and warm conditions.
Aging
Although produced only in exceptional vintages, it is usually bottled in early spring. By definition, it is the most challenging wine to vinify but delivers extraordinary results when carefully managed. A wine with an unmistakably promising future.
Grape Variety
Pinot Nero

Pale red colour, reminiscent of an unripe cherry.
Nose
Delicate and elegant, with aromas reminiscent of small red forest fruits, well integrated with the subtle perception of oak.

Long, reflecting its almost wild character, yet finishing with a soft and elegant, lingering finish.
