About the wine

This 100% Pinot Nero comes from vines aged 8 years old, situated in a flat area with no exposure. Growing at an altitude of 40 meters above sea level, the grapes undergo maceration at controlled temperature, with both delestage (rack and return) and remontage (pumping over) techniques employed. Afterward, the wine ages for 10 months in stainless steel vats, followed by one month of bottle fining before its release.
