Vinifying Pinot Noir as a red wine is never simple, given its delicate nature. However, the unique terroir of the Aosta Valley, combined with aging in French oak barriques, lends it remarkable body and elegance. After an initial fermentation in French oak vats, the wine is aged for approximately 12 months in French oak barriques.
Clear, ruby red in color
Opens with floral notes of violet and rose, accompanied by fruity aromas of cherry and wild strawberry.
Refined, fresh, and savory on the palate, with an elegant spicy note. The finish is long and persistent, showcasing finesse and structure.
Perfect with white meats such as roasted rabbit or chicken, and with light game like pheasant or duck. Also excellent with truffle-based pasta dishes, mushroom risottos, and soft, semi-aged cheeses that enhance its aromatic finesse and smooth complexity.
