The 2014 Pinot Nero from Castello della Sala, an estate owned by Marchesi Antinori in Umbria, Italy, is a notable expression of Pinot Noir. Sourced from vineyards situated at 400 meters above sea level, the wine benefits from calcareous soils rich in fossils, contributing to its unique character.
This vintage is characterized by its dynamic yet elegant profile. Tasting notes highlight prominent oaky flavors, with mentions of oak, vanilla, and tobacco, complemented by red fruit nuances such as cherry and strawberry.
The wine undergoes vinification in stainless steel, followed by maturation in barriques for approximately eight months, enhancing its complexity and depth.
