The Pignolo from La Tunella is an intense and structured wine, obtained from the vinification of the homonymous native red grape variety. In recent decades, with a renewed interest in native varieties, it has found its place in the vineyard again, with clones recovered from some old vines of the Abbey of Rosazzo. The long aging in wood, at least 4 years and an additional year in the bottle, allows the wine to soften and present an intense, rich sip, with evolved and complex aromas. The bouquet expresses aromas of soft spices, red fruit jam, fruit in alcohol, hints of humus and underbrush, notes of bitter cocoa and tobacco. It has a significant body, dense and complex aromas that accompany the sip towards a fresh and very persistent finish. An excellent pairing with meat dishes.
