Castel Firmian Pinot Nero 2020

This is an Italian Pinot Noir (known there as Pinot Nero) from the Trentino region in the north of that country. As a cooler region, it is able to produce interesting and quite appealing Pinot. Different, but certainly worth a look. The colour is pale red. This is an earthy style with notes of leather and animal skins, cherries, dried herbs, red fruits and mushrooms. Hints of tobacco leaves and a pleasant spiciness are also most appealing. The palate offers focus through to firm, slightly grainy tannins. With decent length and a soft lingering finish, drink this over the next four years.
