"C'era una volta" Pinot Nero dell' Oltrepò Pavese Rosso DOC 2022

The most autochthonous of the international vines grown in Oltrepò. Pinot Noir, originally from the French region of Burgundy, on the hills of the province of Pavia proves to be truly at home. It is no coincidence that the Oltrepò is the largest European reservoir of this vine, perfect to be worked in red, as in this case, but also in white or as a base for one of the famous regional DOCGs. Losito & Guarini's "C'era una volta" comes from pure Pinot Noir grapes, grown in the shadow of the 45th parallel, halfway between the North Pole and the Equator. Harvested by hand in boxes, the grapes are delivered to the winery to be first crushed and then sent to the maceration phase, in this case enriched by a macro-oxygenation, to obtain the perfect extraction of colour. This is followed by fermentation at controlled temperature with selected yeasts and refinement, in steel, until it is bottled. Bright ruby red in colour, it has intense aromas reminiscent of wild violets, cherries, berries and spices such as black pepper. In the mouth it is full, enveloping, soft and persistent. Pleasant tannin and good structure. Also perfect as an aperitif, with a board of cheeses and cold cuts it is simply ideal.
