Tenuta Valdipiatta (Italy)

Pinot Nero
Red Wine	Score: ✧✧✧✧

This Pinot Noir shows an intense ruby red color and nuances of garnet red, moderate transparency. The nose reveals intense, clean, pleasing, refined and elegant aromas which start with hints of cherry, plum and raspberry followed by aromas of cyclamen, dog rose, vanilla, tobacco, pink pepper, peanut butter, cocoa and menthol. The mouth has good correspondence to the nose, a slightly tannic attack and pleasing crispness, however balanced by alcohol, good body, intense flavors. The finish is persistent with flavors of cherry, plum and raspberry. A well made wine. This Pinot Noir ages for 12 months in barrique followed by 6 months of aging in bottle.
