DOMINI
COMMENTARY:
A Pinot Noir of great complexity combining power and delicacy, bright fruit on very ripe black fruits, intense notes of blackberry, stewed blackcurrant mixed with spices; massive, dense, demonstrative mid-palate. Long finish … Leave time to time and keep this bottle quietly in your cellar for a few years. “A wine that definitely goes off the beaten track… The 8 months of maceration on the skins gives this Pinot Noir an extraordinary structure and aroma. » Fred
