This Pinot Noir shows a brilliant ruby red color and nuances of garnet red,
moderate transparency. The nose reveals intense, clean, pleasing, refined
and elegant aromas which start with aromas of cherry and plum followed by
aromas of raspberry, strawberry, cyclamen, lavender, blueberry, licorice,
vanilla, chocolate, tobacco and menthol. The mouth has good correspondence
to the nose, a slightly tannic attack and pleasing crispness, however
balanced by alcohol, full body, intense flavors, good tannins, agreeable.
The finish is persistent with flavors of cherry, raspberry and plum. A well
made wine. Il Girone ages in barrique and it is aged for about two years in
bottle.
