"Apertura" Pinot Nero Piemonte DOC 2018

Its name describes the soul of the Colombo winery and recalls the desire to embark on a new project, a new path for viticulture in the area. A wine defined as "feminine", warm and harmonious, it comes from a pure processing of Pinot Noir grapes from hillside vineyards located between 250 and 400 metres above sea level. Once in the cellar, the grapes undergo alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel, followed by malolactic fermentation, in this case carried out in wood. Finally, the wine matures for 15 to 18 months in tonneaux and large barrels. Only then is it bottled to continue with refinement in glass for a minimum of 6 months. In the glass it has a beautiful bright ruby red colour, with slight garnet reflections that tend to appear with age. The nose is reminiscent of well ripe small red berries, such as cherry and sour cherry, followed by floral notes of dog rose. Then sweet spices of vanilla and liquorice of great intensity. In the mouth it is warm and harmonious, with soft sensations linked to elegant but still firm tannins. Good structure and persistence that presage a wine destined for a long evolution.
