Pinot Nero 2023

Description

Still red from Piedmont, 13.5% ABV, produced by Colombo Cascina Pastori. 100% Pinot Noir, 2023 vintage. A Pinot Noir grown in Bubbio, in the heart of the Asti Langhe, from vineyards that date back to Roman times. Alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel at 23-25°C, malolactic fermentation takes place entirely in wood. Aged for 15-18 months in tonneaux and large barrels, then in bottle for at least 6 months. Reminiscent of captivating, well-ripened red berries such as cherries, black cherries, and floral notes of wild rose, it then opens up to intense, sweet spices of vanilla and licorice. Bright ruby red tending to light garnet reflections with age. It is warm and harmonious, with soft sensations linked to elegant yet still firm tannins.

From this winery

• Start up year: 2004
• Oenologist: Riccardo Cotarella, Daniele Carboni
• Bottles produced: 70.000
• Hectares: 10

It all happens in Bubbio, a small village in the heart of the Langa near Asti, where the vineyard has roots that go back to Roman times. Its origins date back to 173 B.C. when the legions under the command of the consul Popilius Lenante conquered these areas.

After the purchase, in 2004, of the nine hectares of vineyards surrounding Cascina Pastori, the business began in 2006 with the inauguration of the new winery, conceived in full respect of the surrounding environment. But a 'fortuitous' meeting in July 2010 allowed the company to broaden its perspective.

From the moment the company and oenologist Riccardo Cotarella met, the new era of the winery Azienda Vitivinicola Colombo Antonio e Figli began. Read more
