Rocca Bernarda Pignolo 2015
Novecento Pignolo is made every year from wines of the rare Pignolo variety. The grapes are grown on the terraced vineyards “ronchi” of our Friuli estate, Rocca Bernarda. The development protection and promotion of this unique variety, which had nearly become extinct, is proof of Rocca Bernarda’s desire to support the native products of the Friuli region. It is considered one of the noble Friulian reds, and its structure, elegance and balance make it particularly suited to aging.
