THE WINE

The Pinot Noir from the Alturis winery is produced with Pinot Noir grapes grown in the vineyards owned by the winery, which are between the plains and hills near Cividale del Friuli in Friuli Venezia Giulia. An elegant red wine that represents the winery that produces it.

THE WINEMAKING

The harvest of the grapes is strictly manual and takes place in September. The grapes are gently destemmed and pressed. The must is then left to ferment on the skins at a controlled temperature with frequent pumping over; this step allows the extraction of the colour and all the aromas from the grape. After racking, the wine ages in steel tanks for a period that varies depending on the year of production. After bottling, the wine rests for a few months in the cellar before being placed on the market.

THE TASTING

Intense ruby red; the aroma is fresh with pleasant notes of small red fruits such as raspberry, blackberry and currant, leaving room for spicy hints. Soft and balanced on the palate, this Pinot Noir from the Alturis winery is a full-bodied wine with a good structure and correspondence between aromas and flavour. Persistent.

FOOD PAIRINGS

This Pinot Noir is versatile and goes well with red and white meats and medium-hard cheeses; try it with a platter of mixed cold meats.
