Growing Conditions

The vineyards extend over south-east to north-east and west-facing sites, between 400 and 550 meters above sea level. They are well ventilated and benefit from low night-time temperatures during the ripening period. The soil consists of mineral marl on limestone gravel.

Winemaking

Carefully selected ripe grapes ferment in a wooden vat at 25 °C with a two-week maceration period. This is followed by malolactic fermentation and a 12-month aging in barriques. The wine is lightly filtered before bottling.

Appearance

brilliant ruby red

Food Pairing

This Pinot Nero Riserva goes very well with tasty meat dishes, game and piquant hard cheeses. It is also an excellent accompaniment to seasoned starters and poultry.
