Linticlarus Pinot Noir Riserva

Pinot Noir/Pinot Nero & Pinot Noir-based Blends

Linticlarus is the Latin name of Entiklar, a fraction of the little village of Coraccia where the estate winery is located. Made from 100% Pinot Nero, Linticlarus is fermented in stainless steel tanks and then aged in French oak barriques for 12 months with an additional 12 months in the bottle for further refinement.

Tasting Notes

The wine is dark garnet in color and offers an intense bouquet of violets and wild berries. A perfect combination of acidity and fine-grained, ripe tannins along with elegant, fruity flavors that linger on the palate.

Food Pairing

This highly versatile wine pairs beautifully with entrees such as grilled pork and apple chutney, egg noodles with roasted duck or grilled balsamic vegetables.
