91pts Decanter

Very fresh and filigreed, with well-defined red cherry and cranberry aromas, underscored by a zesty streak of blood orange. The tannic structure is firm but fine-grained. Crunchy and fresh, perfect for a by-the-glass offering. Still young and a bit coiled but will surely open up in the coming months. Organic certified.

Winemaker Notes

In the mouth, between sensations of softness and sapidity, the wine leaves pleasant memories of cherry, raspberry and strawberry, three aromatic qualities typical of Pinot Noir grapes grown at an altitude of 400 m.a.s.l.. The well-defined tannins thicken its gustative texture, determining a great balance and an aromatic persistence where important memories of jams re-emerge, defining and completing a beautiful harmony.

We are the first and (momentarily) only producer of Pinot Noir of San Gimignano origin, which has revealed itself to be a very interesting area for this grape variety. 100% Pinot Noir grapes, from La Ventola vineyard located 410 m above sea level, and has become a true iconic wine for the Panizzi house. Whole cluster pressing, pre-fermentative maceration at low temperature and 10 months of barrique (through continuous experimentation we have come to understand that this is a fundamental step for Pinot Noir) give life to a complex wine, which evokes freshness, conviviality and cheerfulness.
