Pinot Nero
Red Wine	Score: ✧✧✧✧

The wine shows a soft ruby red color and nuances of garnet red, moderate transparency. The nose denotes personality with elegant, refined, fruity aromas, typical of Pinot Noir. There can be perceived good and intense aromas of cherry, chocolate, strawberry, raspberry and rose followed by pleasing hints of cinnamon and vanilla. In mouth reveals good correspondence to the nose, a slightly crisp attack however balanced. Elegant and soft tannins, intense flavors. The finish is very persistent with long flavors of cherry, strawberry and raspberry. A great wine. This reserve is aged for 12 months in barrique followed by 12 months in bottle.
