You read that right – white wine from a red grape, the Oltrepo's historic Pinot Nero. Trust us, this wine is eye-opening in the best sense (think of it as a still Blanc de Noirs – the reason for which Pinot Noir was originally planted here in the 1850s.) From lime and clay rich soils, grapes are gently pressed to avoid color extraction (hence the super pale hue), then see just 6 months in steel vats before going to bottle. On the nose, it’s surprisingly concentrated, with notes of white flowers and citrus mixed with balsamic overtones, followed by an even more shockingly medium body palate of stone, melon, and pear. Crisp, supple, and well-balanced, truly a wine of intrigue that never gives up a single drop of precision and delectability for the sake of novelty.
