Description
Pinot Noir Cru Selection BRDA, a still green red from Slovenia, 13.5% ABV, produced by Marjan Simcic. Vintage 2022. A Pinot Noir born from the passion of Marjan Simcic, a fifth-generation winemaker who has been producing high-quality wines since 2008. The nose is complex with hints of ripe cherries, cherries in the liqueur, which continue with a subtle note of orange peel. A slightly transparent ruby red color with an orange hue. The palate also offers ripe fruit, especially cherries, finishing with a subtle hint of mint. Balanced and pleasantly smooth, with a well-developed body and a long, complex finish.
