Brand Story: “Father of Pinot Blanc and Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir is probably the most prestigious variety in the world. From its grape are born many great wines in Burgundy and Champagne. Versatile, it manages to merge elegance with capacity for aging .In Trentino, it is adaptive only in a few areas. Monfort’s Pinot Nero grapes are grown in a hilly area in Cirè di Pergine in Vasugana.”
James Suckling: “Notes of spiced cherries and raspberries with hints of dried herbs, cocoa and spices. Medium-bodied and juicy, with a bright, fruity character. Flavorful and easy to drink. Drink now.”
