Pinot Nero 'Vigneto La Fiocca' Piccolo Bacco dei Quaroni 2018

The Pinot Noir “La Fiocca” is a red wine elegant and with good drinkability produced in the Oltrepò Pavese by the Piccolo Bacco dei Quaroni winery, a small reality that works away from the logic of industrial production to interpret the principles of craftsmanship in accordance with nature and ancient farming practices. A few hectares of land cultivated by Mario Cavalli who promotes sustainable agriculture, a prelude to true and spontaneous labels. Simple and genuine wines like this Pinot Noir, an excellent table companion, endowed with a delicate aromatic profile and a fresh and crisp flavor.

The Pinot Noir from the Piccolo Bacco dei Quaroni winery is obtained from pure grapes grown in the La Fiocca vineyard in the municipality of Bosnasco in the province of Pavia. The cultivation philosophy follows the principles of organic farming; between the rows, natural cover crops remain and fertilizations are limited and mainly organic. The vines from which this red is obtained are between 30 and 40 years old and have a limited yield per hectare to give few intense and flavorful fruits. The harvest is carried out in the first decade of September in 20 kg boxes and the bunches are pressed immediately after harvesting. The must ferments in steel tanks on the skins at controlled temperature thanks to selected yeasts. The aging involves resting for a few months in steel tanks.

The Pinot Noir “La Fiocca” appears in the glass with a delicate ruby red color. The nose is delighted by floral notes and ripe small red fruits with delicate peppery nuances. The sip is crisp, smooth, and balanced. A pleasantly fresh and clean red that ultimately convinces with sapidity and drinkability. A bottle suitable for everyday tables, to be paired with game and meat dishes.
