Tasting Notes
-
Appearance: It presents a brilliant ruby red color, with lively reflections that anticipate the freshness of the sip.
-
Nose: The bouquet is an explosion of small wild red berries – raspberry, currant, and morello cherry – enriched by subtle floral notes of violet and a delicate mineral accent typical of calcareous soils.
-
Palate: The entry is silky and vibrant. The structure is supported by very fine tannins and a vibrant acidity that gives momentum to the drink. The finish is clean, persistent, and characterized by an elegantly fruity return.
Pairings and Serving
This Pinot Noir is a highly versatile wine. It excels with:
-
Platters of fine cured meats and semi-cooked cheeses.
-
Roasted white meats, such as rabbit with fine herbs.
-
Dishes based on mushrooms or black truffles.
Sommelier's Tip: Serve at a temperature of 14-16°C in large "Burgundy" type glasses to allow oxygenation to release the full aromatic spectrum.
