Vigna Saosent – Pinot Nero
Trentino DOC
In the middle of Cembra Valley 560 m above sea level, the heart of a small vineyard continues to persevere; here the vines are kissed by the sun year-round and are arranged in a terraced layout to create a spectacular and unique landscape. One of our excellences arises here, the “Vigna di Saosent” Pinot Nero.
The “Ora del Garda” winds that blow in the spring afternoons and climb up the valley, the southern exposure and the loamy and sandy soil rich in stones create the ideal conditions for the cultivation of this great variety that has by now put deep roots in our mountains.

Ruby red with slight garnet reflections, expressed with aromas of berries, raspberries, cherries, blueberries and the spicy aromas of vanilla and chocolate. The soft, pleasant and velvety tannins add the variety’s typical elegance and refinement to the palate
