Pinot Nero 2017 – Castello della Sala – Antinori – 0.75 L This Pinot Nero is produced at the prestigious Castello della Sala, the historic Umbrian estate owned by the Marchesi Antinori family. The winery is located near Orvieto and is internationally recognised for producing elegant wines that combine Italian terroir with refined winemaking techniques. The vineyards are situated at favourable altitudes with excellent exposure, allowing the Pinot Noir grape to ripen slowly while preserving freshness and aromatic complexity. After careful harvesting, the grapes undergo temperature-controlled fermentation, followed by ageing in French oak barrels, which enhances the wine’s elegance and structure while maintaining the delicate varietal character typical of Pinot Noir. In the glass it shows a bright ruby red colour. The bouquet reveals aromas of red berries, cherry and raspberry, accompanied by subtle spicy notes and delicate hints of forest floor. On the palate it is elegant, refined and well-balanced, with fine tannins and lively acidity, leading to a smooth and persistent finish. A distinctive Italian interpretation of Pinot Noir, produced by one of the most historic and respected wine families in Italy. Format: 0.75 L
