Pinot Noir (Pinot Noir) - about the vine variety
Originally from Burgundy, it is widespread practically all over the world despite its sensitivity and variable results. In addition to France, it is widely grown in Italy, California, Oregon and New Zealand. Like red wine , it is seldom mixed with other grapes. Due to the thin skin of the berries, it has weaker coloring properties; this means that his wines are pale in color and tend to be transparent.
Taste and olfactory perceptions
If we smell, the delicate fruit tones of cherries, raspberries, strawberries and blueberries will appeal to us. Maturation then transforms them into aromas of jam, licorice and vanilla. On the contrary, young wines made from grapes harvested before full ripeness are characterized by herbal or vegetable aromas such as mint, tomato leaf and dill. On the palate they are characterized by their acid component. This is often balanced by alcohol, which is often relatively high in wines made from the Pinot Noir variety.
