Pinot noir is one of mankind’s oldest cultivated grapevines. This red diva, a classic grape variety in the cooler winegrowing regions, requires meticulous attention and is quite demanding in terms of both soil and cellar. In order to meet the criteria for the Pinot Nero Riserva, a vine must be at least ten years old and come from excellent vineyard sites. Pinot Nero Riserva is aged at least two years in the cellar before it goes on sale. The result is a spicy and elegant wine that need not fear comparison on an international level.
