VINITY WINE COMPANY


CANTINA PRODUTTORI VALLE ISARCO, PINOT NERO

Pinot Nero – Blauburgunder -- is a wine made of a variety of noble origins: from Burgundy in France, it was brought to South Tyrol about 100 years ago. The warm hillsides around Campodazzo, in the lower Valle Isarco, provide the ideal conditions for the growing of this acclaimed variety, giving the wine the expressivity and typicality that have made it one of the most refined reds.
