Description
Pinot Noir is one of the noblest vines of French origin. Coming from Burgundy, it easily adapts to the Aosta
Valley, where it is quite successful despite its frailty. From the vineyards situated at a low altitude and from
a selection of the best clones, originates the Pinot Noir vinified into the more traditional red wine.
