Description
The movie 'Sideways' relaunched Pinot Nero as a non-sanctioned and non-sanctionable grape variety. Although it is actually cultivated in many regions of the world, Pinot Nero remains a difficult, stingy grape that often gives wines with little concentration, which is why it remains the forbidden dream of many winemakers. It has been produced since 1990, and it is the prototype of the annual challenge to always do better.
