Oliva Pinot Nero Riserva Oltrepo’ Pavese Dop – Ca’ di Frara
Vinification: This 100% Pinot Nero hails from the scenic Oliva Gessi, where the calcareous soils and 220-metre altitude imbue the grapes with character. With a southern exposure and a 25% slope, the vineyard employs the Guyot low cordon training system, resulting in 6,600 vines per hectare. After a meticulous harvest in the second week of September, the wine undergoes submerged cap maceration and stainless steel fermentation, followed by 14 months in barriques and an additional six months in bottle, offering exquisite depth and complexity.
Tasting note: Deep ruby-red wine exudes an alluring bouquet dominated by ripe, luscious fruit, showcasing remarkable intensity and elegance. Its captivating mineral undertones add depth, while the finish is refreshingly persistent, leaving a delightful aftertaste reminiscent of vibrant woodland berries. A truly enchanting experience for the senses.
