It is made from Pinot Noir grapes grown according to the principles of \u003cstrong\u003eorganic and biodynamic agriculture\u003c\/strong\u003e, with a handcrafted approach that excludes invasive technological manipulation. Maceration on the skins and ageing in large Austrian oak barrels give it an elegant, clear and structured flavour profile, with excellent potential for ageing. Its versatility makes it ideal for pairing with pork-based dishes, \u003cstrong\u003egame dishes\u003c\/strong\u003e and generous boards of \u003cstrong\u003emature cheeses\u003c\/strong\u003e, ensuring a satisfying tasting experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe soul of this wine takes shape in the Langhe, among the hills of the municipalities of Novello and Dogliani. The vineyards stretch at \u003cstrong\u003ealtitudes between 350 and 550 metres\u003c\/strong\u003e above sea level, an essential factor in preserving the finesse of Pinot Noir and supporting its natural freshness. The protection of \u003cstrong\u003elocal biodiversity\u003c\/strong\u003e and the use of targeted agricultural interventions allow for a faithful reflection of the \u003cstrong\u003eterritory of origin\u003c\/strong\u003e, offering a coherent, measured and unforced expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe harvest takes place in September, following the rhythm of the season. Vinification involves a slow \u003cstrong\u003emaceration on the skins\u003c\/strong\u003e at a controlled temperature for a period ranging from 22 to 40 days, an ideal technique for extracting colour and defining the aromatic profile. Ageing continues for 12-14 months in large \u003cstrong\u003eAustrian oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, sometimes supported by the use of \u003cstrong\u003eterracotta\u003c\/strong\u003e. This rigorous, low-impact method preserves the identity of the fruit, resulting in a final product of great purity.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor Gian Luca Colombo, cultivating Pinot Noir in the Langhe is a constant lesson in humility that faithfully reflects the soul of the Novello and Dogliani territories. Through rigorous \u003cstrong\u003eorganic and biodynamic farming\u003c\/strong\u003e, the winemaker adopts minimal intervention to enhance the authenticity of the fruit. After a maceration of 22-40 days, the wine matures for 12-14 months in large \u003cstrong\u003eAustrian oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e and, at times, in terracotta. Thus, an artisanal label is born from a \u003cstrong\u003estrictly limited production\u003c\/strong\u003e, capable of delivering in the glass a pure, sincere and unadulterated expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Gian Luca Colombo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46460753969323,"sku":"61246","price":30.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/gian-luca-colombo-pinot-nero-2024_61246_1_25c0fdf8-5dd9-4c96-af2b-b6f5f8c92b8e.webp?v=1777565411","url":"https:\/\/www.xtrawine.com\/en-be\/products\/gian-luca-colombo-pinot-nero-2024","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
