Here we've got an appellation who is best known for whites than red. Even though it is only a generic Chassagne "rouge" village from Ramonet, what I do appreciate the most in this kind of pinot noir is the straightforwardness of the fruit, a clean tannin, a lightness and pretty well-balanced oak, the happy simplicity - that is not the same as banality - of drinking a bottle alone without even realizing it. I really like so nice and well made wines that leaves me from first sip to last one such a genuine impression of vine to cellar to table squaring of the circle both at the nose and into my mouth. Want you imagine also the pairing though: the most delicious cornmeal mush (polenta) of my life with turnip greens and shavings of pecorino sardo. Wholemeal red corn (granturco rosso formenton otto file della Garfagnana e Valle del Serchio del Mulino di Piezza) from an old Mill that has now apparently closed doors forever because high quality and selectivity of production nowdays, sadly, doesn't pay the rent. — 11 years ago

Profumi dolci/balsamici di latte e menta, poi frutta matura, timo, mirto e spezie. In bocca è fresco e tannico, finale lunghissimo di liquirizia. Un piacevolissimo vino mediterraneo. — 12 years ago

Interesting nose - almost like a wet horse. Once you get past the nose there is excellent fruit with a smooth finish. Would drink again. — 12 years ago

Wonderful... Firstly Iron and blood at the nose, then rosemary, mirto and mediterran herbs... Incredibly juicy at the palate with a long lasting menthol final. Great job Arianna! — 13 years ago

Vino rosso dall’ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo, 100% nero di troia. Colore rosso impenetrabile, profumi di confettura di frutta rossa, mirto e liquirizia. In bocca è denso e lunghissimo, tannino delicato e frutto persistente. — 12 years ago

Напоминает mirto: мощное, плотное, напористое. Много сладости в аромате: ваниль, сладкие сливки, молочный шоколад, черные ягоды. Во рту: среднетелое, сочное, хотя для аромата не хватает плотности во вкусе, мягкие танины, умеренные танины, продолжительное послевкусие, много сладости — 12 years ago
