2023 Podere Monastero La Pineta Pinot Nero Toscana IGT 750ml

Origin & Winemaking The 2023 La Pineta from Podere Monastero is a pure Pinot Nero crafted in the heart of Castellina in Chianti, Tuscany. This single-vineyard wine reflects the elegance of Burgundian tradition in Italian soil, made from estate-grown Pinot Nero vines cultivated at high altitude with low yields to ensure intensity and finesse. Hand-harvested and fermented in open vats, the wine is then aged for 18 months in French oak barriques (50% new), developing depth, texture, and aromatic complexity. Tasting Notes Appearance: Brilliant ruby red with youthful violet edges Nose: Fragrant and lifted with aromas of fresh raspberry, cherry, rose petals, violets, and a touch of earthy spice Palate: Silky and bright, showing vibrant red berries, hints of forest floor, subtle oak, and fine tannins. A mineral backbone supports a long, graceful finish marked by precision and poise Cellaring & Serving Enjoy now for freshness or cellar up to 10 years for evolving depth. Best served at 15–16°C after gentle decanting. Food Pairing Pairs beautifully with roast duck, mushroom risotto, grilled salmon, or truffle pasta—ideal for dishes that match its elegance and layered structure.
