Pinot Nero 2022 "Carlotto"

Pinot Nero “Filari di Mazzon” comes from the hillside of Mazzon, at the foot of the Monte Corno Nature Park, cradle of this noble and delicate grape variety. The calcareous and clay soils of fluvio-glacial origin give the wine sapidity, roundness, dense tannins, and a rich fruity expression.

In the glass, it presents an elegant ruby red color. On the nose, it releases intense aromas of sweet red fruits, raspberry, and cassis. On the palate, it is harmonious and complex, with mineral freshness, fine structure, and elegant tannins, making it an authentic expression of Pinot Nero from Mazzon.

A refined wine, capable of evolving over time and perfect with structured first courses, delicate red meats, and aged cheeses.
