Sophisticated notes of dark chocolate and a sprinkle of fragrant spices make a lingering finish. Truly, a delightful tipple for discerning palates, best appreciated when paired with strong cheeses or succulent game meats.

Tasting Notes

The 2023 vintage of ‘Litigo’ Pinot Noir has an elegant, floral nose with aromas of mulberry and wild herbs. On the palate, fine, sappy tannins and bright acidity lead to a delicate, long finish.
