organoleptic characteristics

Clear and luminous ruby-red colour. Fruity aromas, especially small red fruits, along with notes of undergrowth and a slight spiciness characterize the nose. Fresh with light sapidity, and pleasant soft tannins on the palate.

Winemaking and aging

The parcels of Pinot Nero are all hand-harvested and vinified separately in order to enhance the different terroirs and the characteristics of each vintage. For this reason, different vinification techniques are used, including the use of the whole cluster or only destemming, with the goal of seeking the best expression of each parcel. Cold pre-fermentative maceration is done before the alcoholic fermentation, which occurs in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature with short pumping overs daily. At the end of the fermentation, the wine is racked, and the malolactic fermentation is done part in stainless steel tanks and part in barriques.

Tiāmat, the mother of the whole cosmos

Our Pinot Nero is named after a mythological dragon of the Babylonian tradition at the time when this became the most important in Mesopotamia. Tiāmat is the mother of the whole cosmos, the primordial goddess of the oceans and salt waters. Depicted in traditional iconography as a sea serpent or a dragon, she was the symbol and embodiment of primordial chaos, and legend has it that Heaven and Earth were born from her body.
