Red
Piemonte Pinot Nero
By Cascina Guido Berta, Nizza, Piemonte, Italy
A still, 100% Pinot Nero red aged about 9 months in barrique, hand-picked at the end of August.
Tasting notes
Bright red with slight garnet reflections. Complex nose of ripe berries and cherries with spicy notes of pepper and leather. Soft and harmonious on the palate, well balanced with good persistence and a lightly tannic, velvety aftertaste.
