Winemaker & Winery: Roberto Carrancá (Chief Winemaker). Grape variety: 100% Pinot Noir. Region: Casablanca Valley. Viticulture/Vinification: The foliage is handled taking care not to expose the bunches to too much sun to avoid any loss of primary aromas. The grapes are harvested in trays and gently de-stemmed; gravity flow is used to fill the tanks. Cold maceration follows to enhance the colour and fruit. During the fermentation there is almost no movement to respect the fragility of this variety. At the end of fermentation one part of the blend spent time in barrels for 4-5 months. Availability:.400 stores. Smells warm. It’s 14.5% and you can feel it in your nose. There’s plenty of Pinot fruit – perhaps raspberries – but it’s ruined by lighter fuel. Pity. 23/03/10 |
