Tasting Notes:
Rustic and textured, aromas of pomegranate, chocolate, and wild berries are present, which shapeshift into flavors of cherry, blueberry, warm spice, and fresh tobacco, structured with fine tannins and balance. A fine example of what Pinot Noir can do in Piemonte, the wine is named “Leopoldo” as an homage to Leopoldo Incisa, who originally bought Pinot Noir clippings from his travels in Burgundy more than 150 years ago
