Domaine Nico 2021 Pinot Noir Histoire d'A 750ml

The 2021 Pinot Noir Histoire d'A from Gualtallary, Uco Valley was aged for 15 months in a third new barrels. A bright garnet red in the glass. The nose is shy initially but eventually offers up sour cherry and strawberry with damp earth and herbs over a bed of wood and vanilla. Austere in the mouth, the feel is silky and vibrant with intense flavor and delicate freshness before the languorous, nuanced finish.
