Territory and wine style

In this setting, L'Emerico 2019 expresses a fine and measured style, supported by a clear territorial imprint. The winemaking process involves manual harvesting, cold prefermentative maceration, and aging for 18 months in French oak barrels, elements that contribute to complexity without weighing down the wine's profile.

The bouquet is multifaceted and deep, with hints of ripe red fruit, wild juniper, resin, pine needles, white pepper, aromatic herbs, dried chamomile, licorice, and chestnut honey.

The result is a harmonious, complex, and very smooth Pinot Noir, with an elegant and well-defined finish.
