- Description
- Grapes, Region, etc.
The Carillo Pinot Nero is a brilliant ruby red colour with intense aromas of wild berries and spicy notes. The palate is fresh, fruity, fragrant and well-balanced. A beautiful example and fully reflective of the grape variety.
The growing area of the Oltrepò Pavese seems to be the Bermuda Triangle of northwestern Italy, lost between more famous growing areas like Piemonte, Liguria, and Emilia. Italians call it Vecchio Piemonte, for the way time seems to have stood still there, with its many sleepy medieval villages and cheerful osterie. It's here that the 19th century organic farm and estate of Frecciarossa [FRETCH-cha-ROS-sal resides on a resplendent 37 hectares, of which 27 are vineyards whose plots weave amid wheat and alfalfa fields, hazelnut groves, fruit trees, bee hives, six cows, and a small vegetable garden.
