Alcohol: 12,50%
Grape: 100% Pinot Nero
Production: 5,000 bottles

25.00

The quintessential nose with unique and delicate aromas that recall the fruits of the forest and hedgerows. Never overpowering, never aggressive, a seductive, warm and velvety mouthful.

It has a bright violet ruby red; at the nose it is fruity and reminds the fruits of the under wood valued by a balanced note of wood. In the mouth it is long, typical and reminds its wild temperament; the final is long, soft and elegant.

The wine was bottled on 2013 middle June. It is recognised as the most difficult wine to make, but we feel that it should be an excellent result. Wine making is done only in exceptional vintages. It will surely have a promising future

Maceration on the grapes occurs at a controlled temperature of 26°C for about 14 days in order to obtain a good extraction of the colour and to keep a good structure that maintain their selves for a long time. When the liquid part separates itself from the solid one, the must is put directly in 500 litre barrels where it stays for 16 months; during this period the malolactic fermentation occurs. The wine contained in each barrel is put in an unique mass before the bottling.

ABOUT THE WINERY

A family business from '60

More than forty years ago the Cantarutti history as Friulian winemakers began. It was the end of the ‘60s when Alfieri Cantarutti was mesmerised by a magnificent location with a small farmhouse, set among the foothills of Rosazzo: a stunning position and a breathtaking landscape.

Passion for the territory and respect of traditions are the keys of Cantarutti success.
