Beato Bartolomeo ‘Naturae’ Pinot Noir 2021/22, Veneto

Description

Pinot Noir isn’t often associated with Italy – but this famously finicky grape variety thrives in the country’s north east. In fact, it’s been grown in the Veneto region for centuries, and is even known locally as Pinot Nero. This exclusive bottling is made by Beato Bartolomeo, a cooperative based in Breganze DOC in the Alpine foothills. They’ve been making high quality wines since 1950, so they know just how to get the best out of their grapes. Cool Alpine influences keep the Pinot Noir’s flavours bright and fresh, so the team leaves the wine unoaked to let those flavours take centre stage. Discover juicy notes of strawberry and raspberry, plus soft, elegant tannins that’ll pair perfectly with charcuterie.
