Tasting profile
Structure: medium-bodied, medium tannin, medium acidity, dry
A high-altitude Pinot Noir grown at nearly 1,600 metres in Gualtallary, Uco Valley — the elevation shows in a cool, perfumed lift of violets over cherry and red plum. Twelve months in second-use French oak rounds the sweet, fine-grained tannins into a harmonious, savoury-edged finish rather than the soft, everyday style the fruit alone might suggest.
