The soil, composed mainly of eroded porphyry, helps define a tense and territorial profile, while the exposure to the south and southwest promotes balanced ripening. It is a single vineyard, with vines trained in Guyot and limited yields, elements that help achieve a concentrated, precise, and beautifully complex Pinot Nero. The vinification and aging aim to enhance the identity of the vineyard, with maturation in barrique and subsequent resting in the bottle for several years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn appearance, the wine presents the typical charm of great mountain Pinot Noirs, with a color that is not too heavy but deep. On the nose, it offers a rich and multifaceted bouquet, where ripe berries, star anise, and delicate hints of leather emerge. On the palate, it is enveloping, full-bodied, and focused, with references to cinchona bark and a tannic structure that is present but destined to evolve well over time. The freshness supports the sip and lengthens the finish, which is persistent, savory in character, and very satisfying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRecommended pairings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePinot Nero Ponkler 2019\u003c\/strong\u003e pairs coherently with game, braised wild meats, red meats, and aged cheeses.
