  The wine is classic Pinot Noir in a distinct Old World style. Delicate aromas and flavors focus on red berries, delicate spice and subtle earth as the wine opens up and gains complexity with time in the glass. Medium bodied and silky soft tannins make this a lovely, balanced wine to drink without pairing up with food. This does not strike me as a typical Italian wine. Soft, round and delicate it would not pair up well with hearty Italian fare but would complement lighter dishes which may be indicative of the unique source of the wine: high in the Alps near where Switzerland and and France meet. Candied cherries, hints of chocolate and delicate spices. Velvet in a glass. Complex and unexpected, this is a wonderful wine.
