The mouth has good correspondence to the nose, a slightly tannic attack and however balanced by alcohol, good body, intense flavors, pleasing roundness.

Questo vino ha avuto anzitutto il merito di farmi diventare un amante del Pinot Nero : nei miei precedenti incontri non avevo avuto fortuna e trovato bottiglie mediocri.
Ora ho affinato le mie armi e le mie conoscenze e sono spesso a caccia di Pinot Nero di valore.
Questo Monferrato Rosso Alfero 2004, che mi ha sorpreso felicemente ed emozionato, è un ottimo vino, a mio parere un Pinot Nero che ben si può ritenere tra i migliori della produzione nazionale, superiore a molte ben più costose bottiglie.
La ricchezza del suo aroma si accompagna a una struttura corposa, a un sapore intenso, equilibrato e armonioso, con finale notevole e suadente piacevolezza.
Consultando le varie guide mi ha sorpreso che appaia molto poco una sua adeguata valutazione. Apprezzo pertanto il vostro punteggio di quattro diamanti.
