THE WINE

The Pinot Noir from the Le Due Torri winery is a red wine from pure Pinot Noir grapes grown in the vineyards owned by the winery. It is an enveloping and soft wine that ages for an extended period.

We are in Corno di Rosazzo, an area of Friuli in the heart of the DOC Friuli, particularly suited to cultivating vines. Here, the winemakers are of few words but very attached to their land and traditions.

Another watchword of the Le Due Torri winery is biodiversity; four hectares of natural forest embrace the vineyards, creating a unique microclimate.

THE WINEMAKING

The harvest at Le Due Torri is always manual; in this case, it takes place during the first ten days of September and once selected, the best grapes are taken to the cellar for winemaking.The grapes are then cold macerated for three days and subsequently for 20 days with daily manual pressing; then ferment in steel with the addition of selected yeasts. The refinement lasts about 20 months with weekly bâtonnages and takes place in 500-litre tonneaux of  medium-toasted French oak.  After blending and bottling, the wine rests in the cellar for a few more months before being placed on the market.

THE TASTING

Cherry red colour; the aroma is delicate with pleasant fruity notes where cherry, raspberry and dried plum prevail. Soft and enveloping on the palate, well structured with silky tannins. Excellent correspondence between aromas and flavour. Persistence is also good.

FOOD PAIRINGS

Excellent with red meats and cured meats. To try with grilled meat.
