Bright, austere, earthy, mineral-driven. A tad frizzante.

2013. Light and delicate Pinot Noir. Bright, fresh, mostly dry with a touch of cherry. Very clean and so clear.

Cool and earthy - floral on the nose and not a ton of fruit on the palate. Interesting!

2011 vintage - aromatic earthiness, pure pinot, incredible reach, spicy dark approach, wondrous acid, drink all day long, natural match for porchetta

Really an incredibly interesting wine that deserves some thought. Pinot Noir from a prolific organic producer in Southern Switzerland. Violet in the glass, tons of cherry on the nose but something else too - a sort of sweet earth character. Lots of minerality on the palate with good refreshing acid on the finish. Really interesting and quite delicious.

What began upon opening as a disjointed blend of sour cherry and earthy funk focused into tightly structured Pinot Noir with a few days of air. At its best, tilled Earth, spice, and a persisting anise character. Worth the wait.
