That Pinot Noir you love swirling in the glass, with its ruby red colour, vivid and transparent. It makes you hungry. Like the colour, its aromas immediately jump to the nose, with notes of raspberries and cherries. Balsamic scents of freshly cut grass and an energic touch of black pepper and licorice gradually add up to the red fruit sensations. Not too fruity, not too spicy, not too herbaceous. A harmonious red wine in the nose and this balance returns with every sip. A fresh and velvety Pinot Noir, with delicate tannins and a tasty and fruity persistence.

Individual vine-growers contribute their grapes to the wineries based on personal cards recording all identification data of the production areas. During vintage, the agronomist in charge verifies the extent of maturation of the grapes and establishes vintage timing accordingly. Upon arrival at the winery, grapes are selected by type, area of origin and sugar content, as these indications are fundamental to determine the wine quality potential. Each bunch is trimmed to increase concentration, grapes are hand picked. Modern temperature controlled fermentation ensures all the bright fresh fruit flavours of the grapes are preserved and transferred into the eventual wine.
