Description

The grapes grow in Mazzon at an altitude of 400 m above sea level. The sandy-clay soil, the afternoon sun and the Ora del Garda provide ideal microclimatic conditions for Pinot Noir, which has been cultivated in this Cru for more than a century. The grapes are picked and selected by hand and fermented in large wooden vats for a fortnight in contact with the lees. Regular punching-down optimises the extraction of aromas and colour from the marc. After malolactic fermentation, the wine rests for one year in 500 l oak barrels, followed by 8 to 10 months in large oak casks. The bottled wine remains in the cellar for one year, until it is put on the market.

Tasting

Red colour between ruby and garnet with orange highlights. The nose is intense with strawberries, raspberries, plums, cherries. In the mouth it is pulpy and velvety with pleasant tannin and the typical aromas of Pinot Noir.

Pairings

Ideal with grilled meats, roast pork or veal, game, smoked or grilled fish and spicy cheeses.
