Tasting Notes

Appearance: Deep ruby-red with a dense, vibrant hue — a sign of maturity and concentration.

Nose: Refined yet more concentrated, it reveals black cherry, ripe red berries, and sweet spices, with a subtle touch of well-integrated oak.

Palate: Broad and supple, with fine, melted tannins that bring structure and length. The wine remains fluid and balanced, driven by expressive, ripe fruit.

Finish: Fresh and elegant, with a delicate spicy lift. A classic old-vine Pinot Noir, combining finesse and intensity with confidence and style.

Food Pairings

This old-vine Pinot Noir, both refined and structured, pairs beautifully with elegant regional cuisine. It complements roasted quail with figs, herb-crusted pork tenderloin, or mushroom-stuffed poultry.

Its delicate balance and freshness also make it a subtle match for red wine-poached fish (such as grilled salmon with Pinot Noir sauce) or earthy vegetarian dishes: mushroom risotto, shallot tart, or roasted root vegetable gratin. A characterful red, crafted for precise pairings.
