Pomino Pinot Noir is a fine and extremely elegant wine with a delicate fruity bouquet of cherry and wild strawberries and floral bouquet of violets, which comes from the skillful blending of Pinot Noir and small amounts of Sangiovese. Brilliant ruby red. Intense and elegant with aromas of red berry fruit such as blackberry, plum, blueberry and cherry followed by slight balsamic hints of mint and nutmeg. Notes of tobacco and bitter chocolate on the finish. Beautiful taste-olfactory response, with remarkable freshness and balance. Elegant, velvety wine presents silky tannins and long, luscious finish.
