Pinot Nero Confinis – Francesco Rotolo – 2023

The wine Pinot Nero Confinis from Francesco Rotolo winery

This Pinot Noir, like all Confinis wines, is relatively young; in fact, the winery was founded in 2017 from the will of Francesco Rotolo, who, in addition to being a young winemaker, is also a son of art; in fact, his family created two wineries, Mario Schiopetto and Volpe Pasini.

Francesco selected a few hectares of hills between Capriva del Friuli and Cormons where, thanks to his experience, he wants to create fresh and pleasant wines with low alcohol content.

The Pinot Noir arrived in Friuli in the mid-19th century and found a natural habitat to perform at its best. This is an elegant and gentle wine that represents well the characteristics of the region.

THE WINEMAKING

The harvest is strictly manual and occurs in the first ten days of September . Once in the cellar, the must ferments in steel for a period ranging between 15 and 20 days at a controlled temperature of 18/20° C. The wine ages in steel for about seven months, and after bottling, it rests in the cellar for a few months before being placed on the market.
