Vintage Details

The 2018 vintage is considered one of the most balanced for Pinot Noir grown in the Sebino area. Favorable climatic conditions – mild winters and a regular summer with good temperature variations – allowed for optimal grape ripening. The harvest, carried out manually, guaranteed a rigorous selection of the bunches, ensuring the perfect health and aromatic concentration of the fruit.

Winemaking and Aging

The winemaking of Pinéro 2018 follows an artisanal approach with absolute respect for the grape variety. After destemming and crushing, the must remains in contact with the skins for about 15 days, during which pump-overs (the movement of the must to allow for uniform extraction of color and aromas) are regularly performed. Once separated from the skins, the wine is transferred to French oak barriques – half new and half second-passage – where it ages for about 11 months. Bottling is done by gravity, without aggressive filtration or clarification, to preserve the purity and complexity of the wine.
