Erziozione 1614 Pinot Nero 2016 - PLANETA 750ml x 1 bottle

Thanks to effective rainfall, this year saw a cool and refreshing summer with pleasant temperatures. As a result, by the end of September, the grapes were growing steadily and healthily in both quantity and quality, in a very calm environment. Thanks to a peaceful summer free from stress, harvesting started 8 days earlier than usual, yielding grapes in excellent condition. This allowed us to complete the harvest, avoiding the late October rains.

Classification: Sicilia DOC

Grape Variety: 100% Pinot Nero

Tasting Notes: A brilliant garnet-ruby color. Ripe red fruits, rose hips, dried herbs, and subtle notes of cedar and spice harmoniously combine. The balanced acidity, reflecting a stress-free growing environment, and rounded, silky tannins spread smoothly across the palate. The fruit flavor has gently matured, and the umami and minerality support a long finish, showcasing a classic balance. This is a refined and mature vintage, revealing a quiet perfection brought about by time.

Production Method: The harvested grapes are placed in small 14kg boxes, chilled to 10℃, then sorted by hand. After destemming only, without crushing, they are transferred to concrete tanks to begin alcoholic fermentation. Fermentation proceeds while gradually raising the temperature to 26℃, with light manual pigeage (punching down) for 13 days on the skins. Afterward, they are pressed using a basket press. Aging occurs in stainless steel tanks and clayver (clay vessels) (25%).
