This ruby-red wine has a characteristic orange rim. Its scent is distinct and singular, recalling red fruits, particularly raspberry. To the palate it proves pleasantly dry, extremely elegant and velvety, with long-lasting persistence.
Pinot Nero is a vine that originated in the Borgogna area and it is cultivated quite frequently in northern Italy as well. Often used to produce sparkling wines, it is known for the natural acidity of its grapes. In some particularly prestigious winemaking areas, it is used to make reds, giving rise to elegant still wines.
Poggiobello boasts a surface area of 110-hectares, ninety of which host cultivated vineyards. It grows ancient indigenous varieties like Ribolla Gialla, Friulano, Refosco, Verduzzo Friulano and Picolit (of which Poggiobello owns the largest portion of the Colli Orientali Consortium). Moreover, the winery also grows the most known international varieties such as merlot and sauvignon, which have been cultivated in this territory for centuries.
It lends itself well to enhancing dishes like livornese-style fish or tuna in pastry crust. This elegant wine is often enjoyed with high-brow, elaborate cuisine.
