Marchese Leopoldo

 

100% Pinot Nero

 

Pinot Noir, a vine that is an uncommon choice for Piedmont's viticulture, but for Marchesi Incisa, Pinot Nero has been in the terroir for over 150 years, since the time of the family's ancestor, Leopoldo Incisa della Rocchetta. Leopoldo was one of the first wine scientists in the late 1850s who brought back Pinot Noir vines from Burgundy and cultivated them on his Rocchetta Tanaro vineyards. This wine displays a nose of great complexity, typical of the varietal of origin. Intense, persistent and refined, with notes of ripe cherry, tobacco and spices. On the palate, a dry, round and harmonious taste with a medium body. Well-balanced. Savor the subtleties of pomegranate, chocolate & wild berries. Well integrated, followed by a long and elegant finish.
