Elzianne 1614 Pinot Nero 2016 - PLANETA 1500ml x 1 bottle

Thanks to effective rainfall, this year brought a cool and refreshing summer, blessed with pleasant temperatures. As a result, by the end of September, the grapes were growing steadily and healthily, both in quantity and quality, in a very calm situation. Thanks to a peaceful summer free from stress, the harvest started 8 days earlier than usual, and we were able to achieve an excellent harvest. This allowed us to avoid the late October rains and complete the harvest.

Classification: Sicilia DOC

Grape Variety: Pinot Nero 100%

Tasting Notes: A brilliant garnet-ruby color. Ripe red fruits, rosehip, dried herbs, and subtle cedar and spice aromas are harmoniously integrated. The balanced acidity, reflecting a stress-free growing environment, and rounded, silky tannins spread smoothly across the palate. The fruitiness is gently matured, with umami and minerality supporting a long finish in a classic balance. This is a refined, mature vintage that reveals a quiet perfection brought by time.

Production Method: The harvested grapes are placed in small 14kg boxes, cooled to 10°C, and then hand-sorted. After destemming only, without crushing, they are transferred to concrete tanks to begin alcoholic fermentation. Fermentation proceeds with the temperature gradually rising to 26°C, with light manual pigeage (punching down the cap), and maceration on the skins for 13 days. Afterwards, they are pressed with a basket press. Aging takes place in stainless steel tanks and clayver (clay vessels) (25%).
