LA CANTINE PIZZOLATO Pinot Nero - DOC Venezia 2022/23 Bottle 12.5%abv ORG/VEG

Description

La Cantina Pizzolato has been an organic estate since 1991. Winemaker Settimo Pizzolato is the latest of five generations of Pizzolati who have made wine in this scenic part of northeastern Italy. With 50 hectares of his own and contracts for grapes from another 50 belonging to long-term neighbouring organic growers, Settimo runs a significant operation which is improving in quality and focus exponentially.

Pale ruby red in the glass with aromas of berries, blackberry, and plum jam with a hint of liquorice. The palate is light with refreshing berry fruit characteristics and subtle tannins. A great pairing with mushroom risotto. The grapes were hand-picked, de-stemmed and crushed. Fermentation took place in stainless steel and lasted for 4-5 days following classic red wine vinification.
