2021 'Sasso' Pinot Noir
Biodynamic ∙ Organic ∙ Vegan
Wine Details
We have three unique blocks of Pinot Noir (II Giardino, La Roccia & Ruscello). The fruit from these blocks are specifically chosen for this wine as they produce fruit of the highest quality. This wine is medium weighted, with soft savoury tannins and well-balanced acidity. "A style in which I have always enjoyed making and drinking" - Steve Lubiana. The wine is only produced in exceptional years with the 2020 being only the 8th year of Sasso.
Low vigour. Low yields of 2.5 tonne per hectare.
