Tasting-Mezzacorona Pinot Noir


Mezzacorona Pinot Noir

Variety: 100% Pinot Noir
Region: Vigneti delle Dolomiti 
Country: Italy
Year: 2010
Price: $10.99

Tasting Notes: "A bit of rose petal and crushed rock greets the nose, joined by mint herbs, a touch of pepper bacon, and nice raspberry candy and perfumed pomegranate fruit. This is a bit of a lean style, certainly acid-driven, but with lovely depth of flavor. There are nice nuanced notes of mineral, herb and earth framing the raspberry fruit and a light vanilla top note adding some detail. Really shows some nice tension in the mouth and on the moderately long, refreshing finish, where the small-scaled tannins make themselves apparent. A very nice, pure expression of Pinot Noir."

My review: This was a very smooth wine and medium-bodied. I liked the fruit-driven palate and the slight crisp finish. I would like to pair this with a food if I bought it again.

I tasted this on its own and with no food.
