MAZON Pinot Nero Riserva 2006

A delicious Pinot Noir from unquestionably Italy’s finest producer of this often challenging grape knocks spots off similarly-priced red Burgundies. The vineyard benefits from a bio-dynamic approach to pest control and with its soft, spicy, supple aromas and flavours of wild strawberries and red cherries, woodsmoke, smoked almonds and bitter chocolate, the wine can be paired with cold meats, poultry dishes, and rustic Tyrolean classics like barley and ham hock soup.
