The Wine:
After destemming and gentle crushing, the grapes were transferred into small stainless steel truncated cone tanks where cold maceration was performed over a period of three days. Alcoholic fermentation followed at a controlled temperature of 26 °C (78.8 °F)and lasted for about one week and was then completed in 228-litre barrique where the wine underwent malolactic fermentation and continued to age for several months. Pinot Nero della Sala aged in the bottle in the castle’s historical cellar for an additional period before being released for sale.

Pinot Nero della Sala 2020 is a translucent ruby red colour with garnet hues. The nose expresses delicate notes of wild berries, pomegranate, currants, and cherries followed by spicy hints of pink pepper. Soft and silky on the palate, Pinot Nero della Sala 2020 is elegant and delicate yet at the same time complex with outstanding persistence.
