Anselmet, Pinot Noir
(PEE-noh no-AH)

 

Tasting Notes: In many ways, the Alpine region of Valle d’Aosta is ideally suited for Pinot Noir. Its high altitude ensures a long ripening period, the direct sunlight on the valley walls is intense and encourages plant health, and the incredibly rocky soil has remarkable drainage. Anselmet’s Pinot Noir has deep black cherry fruit aromas that are reminiscent of classic Syrah. The palate varies a touch with more tart red fruit, including Bing cherry and raspberry, and it is rounded off with a full body and soft tannins that compliment the complex berry aromas.
