La Pineta
La Pineta (100% Pinot Noir) is the result of this philosophy of scrupulous attention: the treatment of each vine is carried out with the sole intention of producing the best possible quality wine. The method of training is restricted to no more than 6-7 buds per plant. The production per vine is around one pound of grapes, and these are hand-picked at optimal phenolic ripeness. The fermentation occurs in French oak barrels (Allier) at controlled temperatures for 12 days. After the fermentation, the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation in barriques with a medium toast. At the end of this process, the wine is reracked into barriques for an additional nine months of aging before being bottled.
Tasting Notes

Food Pairing
This will pair beautifully with roasted meats of all types, as well as stews, hearty soups, and aged cheeses.
