produced with vines at high altitudes (between 605 and 805 meters above sea level)

Both were superb

mocha and dusty soil plus wafts of cardamom and smoked meats

I like both the intensity and the polished mouthfeel that add appeal of the sappy and built-to-age finish that is hugely long but not really austere

Shelter Winery, N114 Pinot Noir other_regions_italy produced with vines at highIf youre looking for a pinot noir that tastes like a Grand Cru red Burgundy but costs a fraction of the price, then look no further! Enveloping nose of black cherries, smoke and wet earth. Deep and concentrated palate with very serious tannin structure, but also excellent freshness. Very long firmly structured finish with earthy power. Very limited quantity. Drinkable now, but best from 2025. Screw cap.
