Pinot Nero (IGT)
Pinot Nero (Italy’s Pinot Noir) is a black wine grape widely considered to produce some of the best and most popular red wines in the world. Our winery is proud to have been producing Pinot Nero as part of our quality wine selection for over a decade and understand well the attention to detail that is essential at every stage of the vintage from how the wine is grown all the way to the fermentation methods that are used to ensure the best conditions to yield the best wine possible.
Whilst the Pinot Nero grape is a challenge to cultivate due to its sensitivity throughout the wine making process, is very well suited to Italy’s warmer conditions, Le Marche’s coastal climate and the hillside vineyards of our winery.

Wine Pairing
This Varietal is one of the most versatile when considering food parings as it is characteristically light enough to work well with salmon but offers a complexity that also compliments richer gamey meats. Consider pairing with pork, poultry, fish, lamb, beef, wild game or simply accompanying with a selection of medium to strong cheeses. Below is a list of principle dishes we recommend accompanying this wine:
- Grilled White Salmon and asparagus with green peppercorn sauce
- Roasted Pork with breadcrumb and light honey vinaigrette served along side roasted broccoli with olive oil and seasoning
- Braised beef and vegetable casserole
- Mushroom Risotto
