Pinot Nero

Vincenzo Tommasi had the vision to plant Pinot Nero in a remote part of the Tuscan Apennines, in the province of Arezzo. Only 3 hectares, after years of studying where this sensitive grape could actually work. Podere della Civettaja is not trying to make Burgundy in Toscana. It is making Pinot Nero from its own mountain corner.
 
Expect elegance, but not softness without bones. There is a tannic grip that makes it feel Italian. Rich pasta and selvaggina, game meat, are the right kind of food.
