“A singular kind of wine: a luxury”: that is how it was defined in 1930 by Professor Dalmasso. This is a red made from indigenous grapes, collected on trays and placed in our loft to dry for 20 days at low temperature. The bunches are then destemmed, and fermentation takes place on the skins for around three weeks. In the spring following the harvest, a long period of maturation in barriques takes place, for about 5 years. This lengthy process concludes with bottle-ageing for at least 2 years. Well-known for its longevity, in fine vintages Pignolo can even be aged for over twenty years, offering a wine that is still rich and elegant.

Profile:

Intense ruby red with deep tones

A very distinctive nose offers a wealth of nuances, presenting very ripe red fruits and morello cherries before incense, autumn leaves and dark chocolate. The bouque acquires spicy notes as the wine ages

Massive breadth and warmth in the mouth, where assertive extract never loses its poise, a wine of extraordinary power and vigour

Food Pairing: Red meat preparations from the great culinary tradition - Serving temperature 16°C

What’s In It: 50% Friulano; 30%Chardonnay; 20% Sauvignon Blanc

How It Was Made:

The grapes are picked in trays and placed in a cool drying room

for about 20 days to concentrate the sugars.

Next come destemming and fermentation on the skins for about

three weeks at controlled temperatures.

The following spring, the Pignolo begins maturation in small oak

casks, which continues for at least five years.

Ageing is completed in bottle for a period of at least two years.
