Avamposti Pinot Nero ‘Ventura’
Piemonte, Italy
2019
13.5% ABV
Rich, textural, refined, and oak-aged white from Cairanne.
Tasting Notes
An expressive, complex nose with wild raspberry, crunchy cherry aromas, darker, black fruits, and a hint of spice. The ripe fleshy fruit is balanced by bright acidity. The finish is juicy and lightly savoury with soft, balanced tannins.
Food match
Try with Ligurian rabbit stew or Piemontese agnolotti al plin.
Bottle Information
The grapes were cultivated in one vineyard plot with chalk soils, 350m above sea level in the Monferrato hills. After experimenting with earlier vintages to find the best vinification method for Piemontese Pinot Noir Carlo decided to combine the results of two parcels - 50% underwent fermentation in stainless steel with a portion (20%) of whole bunches – whilst the grapes for the remaining 50% were crushed and fermented in large wooden casks. Malolactic fermentation took place in stainless steel. After blending the wine spent 12 months in oak - 75% large cask and 25% barriques - before bottling.
