Pinot Nero 2020 - Podere Aia Vecchia

Pinot Nero - Podere Aia Vecchia

The Pinot Noir of Podere Aia Vecchia is an elegant and gentle wine that comes from pure Pinot Noir grapes, which come from a single plot of half a hectare in the heart of the woods above Massa Marittima. The winemaking takes place with a maceration on the skins in limestone vats specially built by Fabrizio using the rocks of the land where the vines reside, and the refinement takes place in demijohns. Low yields, a lot of passion in the vineyard, make this pinot noir an elegant and timeless wine, ideal for all informal occasions.

Service

We taste it at a temperature around 16/18°C. It is recommended to serve it in tulip glasses. Wine to be drunk immediately but if left to rest for a few years in the cellar it can give great emotions.

Pairings

Excellent wine paired with first courses with meat sauce, ideal meat pairing with stewed beef with porcini mushrooms.ni.

Winery: Podere Aia Vecchia

Fabrizio Niccolaini, after having spent more than 20 years producing wine with the Massa Vecchia company, decides, together with his wife Partizia Bartolini, to restore an old farmhouse and found Podere Aia Vecchia, a very small company located in the municipality of Massa Marittima . Here there is a small Pinot Noir vineyard planted on limestone soil, in the middle of the woods of the Colline Metallifere, and around 8ha of pastures and mowing meadows, which feed Jersey breed dairy cows. The milk is transformed by Patrizia in the small company dairy, producing two types of raw milk cheese without the use of additives and selected ferments. To maximize the delicacy of Pinot Noir, Fabrizio creates limestone containers to keep the wine outdoors for maceration and uses 60-litre glass demijohns for aging instead of wooden barrels. Every year it produces around 600 bottles, unmissable for fans of the genre!
