Sergio Mottura - Civitella D'Agliano, Lazio (organic)
Magone, I.G.T.
100% Pinot Nero. This wine is made with the noble vines of Pinot Nero grape varieties. The Pinot Nero that makes this wine comes from plantings that Sergio planted in 1962. It conies from a vineyard that also contained Montepulciano and Trebbiano. In 1980, Sergio grafted Pinot Nero onto the remaining other two varieties, making this vineyard exclusively for Pinot Noir. The wine is aged in small oak barrels for one year and then finished in the bottle for six months. The wine has a vibrant ruby red color with a nose of red berry fruits with elegantly balanced wood to the nose. The palate has a light bitterness with mature fruit, nicely spiced and rich tannins.
