Paolo Saracco Piemonte DOC Pinot Nero shows a different side of a winery best known for its Moscato d’Asti. This red wine from Piedmont is made from Pinot Nero and is aged for 12–14 months in small French oak barrels and large casks. As a result, it combines juicy forest fruit with a round, velvety structure and a subtle hint of vanilla.
This Pinot Nero comes from Piedmont, in the northwest of Italy.
Location / Origin: The vineyards are located in the municipalities of Castiglione Tinella and Castagnole delle Lanze, two towns in a hilly part of Piedmont between Asti and Alba.
Region: Piedmont DOC gives Saracco the freedom to craft Pinot Nero in a fruity, elegant, and recognizably Northern Italian style.
Vineyard management: Saracco works on 50 hectares of vineyards with a focus on sustainability, nature, and the year-round climatic development.
The vinification process focuses on fruit, softness, and a long finish.
Fermentation: The grapes ferment in stainless steel tanks. This helps keep the red and black fruit pure and gives the wine its fresh, fruity base.
Aging / Oak treatment: The wine is aged for 12–14 months, partly in small French oak barrels and partly in large casks. This combination provides roundness, a light touch of vanilla, and extra length without masking the refined fruit expression.
This red Piedmont wine is made entirely from Pinot Nero.
Pinot Nero – Piedmont DOC: Pinot Nero is the Italian name for Pinot Noir, and it gives this wine its red berry fruit, blackcurrant, raspberry, and velvety structure. In Piedmont, the grape takes on an elegant, round style with a delicate spiciness.
