Pierre is a great wine, an exceptional Pinot Noir, which expresses all the aging potential of its variety. It comes from a perfect balance between alcohol content and acidity, obtained from a rigorous selection of the most suitable vineyards, and manages to give voice to unique notes of finesse, fruit and longevity, through a structured, full and round taste, which can only be achieved with a complete refinement in wood. It is a wine that stands out for its complexity and balance and that represents the Aosta Valley in its purest sense.
