Pinot Noir is considered one of the most noble red grape varieties in the world. Pinot Noir belongs to the group of “international” grape varieties of French origin, widely cultivated throughout the world. Pinot Noir is a difficult grape variety, both in terms of cultivation and vinification. The red vinification of Pinot Noir represents a major challenge for any winemaker and leads to variable results from year to year even in the areas most suited to it. Pinot Noir is also a grape variety extremely sensitive to the terroir, so very different interpretations are obtained depending on the production area. For all these reasons, during the tasting phase, Pinot Noir presents both the consumer and the professional with one of the most complex winemaking realities. The origin of Pinot Noir is Burgundy, with it some of the greatest red wines in the world are created. The neutral color of its pulp also makes it suitable for white winemaking, obtaining a wine that is the best base for the production of classic method sparkling wines, especially when blended with Chardonnay, to which it gives body, complexity and also a notable longevity. In Champagne, especially in the Montagne de Reims area, it is included in all the main cuvées. In Italy we find it both vinified in red, especially in Trentino-Alto Adige, in Oltrepò Pavese, in Veneto, in Friuli, but also in Tuscany. Vinified in white, it is included in the composition of classic method sparkling wines, from Franciacorta to Oltrepò Pavese, to Trento DOC.
