Mancini Blanc de Pinot Noir Impero (75cl) (6 in a box)
Vintage: 2016
Product Type: White Wines
Country: Italy
Region: Marches
Appellation: Marche IGT
Producer: Fattoria Mancini
Alcohol: 13.5%
Grape Varieties: 100% Pinot Noir
Closure: Cork
Producer: The Mancini family have made wine here for five generations, and current owner Luigi Mancini's fascination is with more unusual grape varieties: either the Pinot Noir brought to this particular part of the northern Marches by the French two hundred years ago, or local treasures like Ancellotta and Albanella. In clay-limestone soil, with temperatures moderated by the Adriatic, these varieties thrive alongside the more mainstream Sangiovese and Montepulciano.
Vineyard: The soil of calcareous sandstone and cool microclimate along this elevated section of the Adriatic coast has proven to be ideal for the cultivation of Pinot Noir. The grapes were hand-harvested into 15kg baskets, and immediately placed in a mobile cooling cellar for transport to the winery.
Winery: The grapes were cooled overnight, then whole bunch pressed at 9C. The must was then cold settled, racked and fermented in barrel at around 18C. Malolactic fermentation was partially carried out. The juice spent twelve months on lees in French oak (40% new) with regular stirring.
Taste: Impressive and distinctive wine, showing spice from the wood and bright red apple/peach aromas. Broad structure in the mouth, not unlike a Cote de Nuits white - balanced and positive, with a herbal freshness.
