Pinot Nero - Al Negrès - Alessio Brandolini

A Pinot Noir born in the heart of theOltrepò Pavese, specifically on the hills of San Damiano al Colle, where Alessio Brandolini cultivates his vineyards in an area particularly well suited to this grape variety.

Al Negrès is produced from 100% Pinot Noir, from a vineyard located between 250 and 300 meters above sea level, on hills with excellent sun exposure and trained using the Guyot system. This is a wine that aims to express the character of the grape variety without losing its connection to the Oltrepò Pavese region.

The winemaking process involves fermenting the grapes in contact with the skins to extract color, aromas and structure while preserving the balance typical of Pinot Noir. The winery produces it only when conditions are favorable, thus choosing to prioritize grape quality over production continuity.

Appearance: bright, intense garnet red.
