- The Pinot Nero is pressed as a white wine and fermented in wood. The five white grapes are picked and fermented together in stainless steel, then added to a solera reserve wine; each November part of the solera is drawn off to make the cuvée. The second fermentation in bottle is started with must from botrytised Riesling and Chenin Blanc, and both fermentations run on natural yeasts. About 30 months on the lees. About 1,450 bottles a year.
