Note di degustazione
Light to mid cherry red. So different from the Wild Ferment Pinot 2020 and smells more sweetly oaky, more crafted than wild. But apparently the oak is the same (11 months in old French oak barrels). Intense, zesty and with the sense of the coast's freshness. Still quite chewy. Needs a little longer in bottle, I think. (JH)

Full bottle 1,339 g. Screwcap. I was expecting oodles of fruit on this, but the nose is rather stony and there is a restrained stoniness and stemmy herbaceousness on the palate. But, saying that, it is really mouth-watering – the fruit is sappy, but not sweet. Really very appetising and superior. (TC)
I already tasted the 2020 Aconcagua Costa Pinot Noir that was bottled in February 2021, from one of the driest years in the last 50 years when they had to irrigate more to keep the freshness and quality of the grapes. Despite that, the wine is still 13.5% alcohol and has good freshness and balance, a varietal profile of red fruit and flowers and integrated oak after 11 months in barrel (15% of them new), with 10% of the volume matured in concrete egg instead of oak. It has a fine thread and bittersweet sensations, with very fine tannins and a medium body. 20,717 bottles produced and bottled at the same time.
