BRESSAN MASTRI VINAI 2006 PINOT NERO
Pinot Noir has been grown on this estate since 1726. And this example, from very old vines grown on a remarkablycomplex, ferrous soil called ferrettizzato, shows a side of Pinot Noir quite unlike anything else in the world. Rich,full-bodied, and laden with dark, brooding spice tones, this wine delivers an intense nose of stony wild raspberries,Sarawak peppercorns, porcini powder, and a dark earthiness that transforms in the glass into a complex perfume ofdried roses, oolong tea, and toasted herbs, finishing finally with a mysterious umami savoriness. Extremely complex,and something for the Pinot fan who thinks he’s tried everything. Excellent with game or roasted lamb. Limited.
