Red
Langhe Pinot Nero
By Carlo Giacosa, Barbaresco, Piemonte, Italy
A Langhe Pinot Nero from an estate vineyard near the winery, aged in small to medium French oak barrels.
Tasting notes
Ruby red, from soft to deep depending on the vintage. Bouquet of forest fruits and cherries with peppery spice. Enveloping, elegant tannins and a structure and body that suit very long ageing.
Pairs well with
Game, braised meats, red meats and mature cheeses.
