From the Winery:
Vignacorejo is a pure expression of Pinot Nero, produced from a careful selection of grapes from a single vineyard located in the most favored site of Contrà Soarda. In this corner of excellence, the volcanic soil and a unique microclimate - shaped by the cold currents from the Valsugana and marked diurnal temperature variations - allow the grapes to ripen exceptionally, preserving the varietal’s aromatic intensity.
This wine is the result of Mirco Gottardi’s bold bet, as he firmly believes in the power of terroir to enhance even complex varietals such as Pinot Nero, which has historically thrived in cooler climates. Fermentation takes place spontaneously in conical trunk vats, followed by an extended aging in tonneaux for 48 months, and an additional 48 months in the bottle.
On the nose, Vignacorejo unfolds with an intriguing profile: earthy notes, spicy and savory plums, dark cherries, pine, and toasted nuances blend harmoniously with hints of licorice and a curious accent reminiscent of cola. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied yet elegant, with a structure that provides a pleasing length in the finish. A complex and refined wine, it is sure to surprise and captivate true Pinot Nero enthusiasts.
