Collezione del Barone Piemonte Pinot Noir

First Italian Pinot noir for me. Sour cherry, Italian character, minerality, wild herbs, dried flowers, cranberry, sassafras and nice acid. Funky and fun.

Solid cheap Pinot Noir

Good with cheeses. Check plus plus. Rate 8. Pay 15$.

Smells of funky jam.

Flint in the tongue, sour berry, white pepper, light, yet chewy little tannins.

An odd duck. Yet you need one every now and then to appreciate the others.

Best $12.00 I have tasted. Decent quaffer. Nice #qpr

My fiancé thinks it smells like feet. It is funky. I love it at $12

The stickers on the neck says 'James Suckling-92 pts' so let's see! Smelled promising but restrained- tart red cherries, some wood and that subtle quintessential Italian under arm funk.
Pours out as a murky ruby- more like a table Sangiovese than a Pinot. Bland, watery, an aftertaste that is hightened by the over done acids that have an artificial sense. Sorry James but you sold your name to someone who is defecating on your reputation.

Very smooth pinot with the the Italian character that I was expecting.

Good Italian Pinot Noir we picked up at Costco in Denver. Dry red fruits, nice color, nice body. Slightly chewy tannins, but soft.
