🏰 The 2020 Fontodi Case Via Pinot Nero is an intriguing and innovative red wine from Tuscany, honored with the IGT Colli Toscani certification. This 100% Pinot Nero, from organically grown grapes, showcases a surprisingly dark color and thick concentration, which some critics note doesn't immediately resemble a typical Burgundian Pinot Nero. Vinous awarded it 93 points, describing it as impressive, rich, and layered, with abundant Panzano textural intensity, amplified dark red/purplish fruit, rose petal, and sweet spice, with a touch of savoriness from 20% whole clusters adding dimension. The nose is rich with cherry and mint aromas, alongside licorice, strawberries, jasmine, and tea leaves, creating a wide and intriguing bouquet. The palate is elegant and velvety with tannins, softness, and freshness, leading to a long persistence. Robert Parker, while noting the warm vintage influence, found it redolent of black cherry, candied orange peel, and balsamic or medicinal herbs. 【 An intriguing and richly textured Tuscan Pinot Nero with unique aromatic complexity. 】 🍴 This Tuscan Pinot Nero is perfect with chicken in a humid tomato sauce and all white meats. Its red fruit notes also make it a good match for pasta, rich fish like salmon or tuna, and mild, soft cheeses. 🥂 Ideal for a sophisticated dinner, a gathering with friends who appreciate unique Italian expressions, or as a versatile wine for a range of culinary experiences. Serve in a wide wine glass at 18°C (64°F).
