Varietal Origin
Pinot Noir, also known as Pinot Nero in Italy, is a black grape variety that is widely considered one of the most noble and expressive grape varieties in the world. It is believed to have originated in Burgundy, France, and has been cultivated in many wine regions around the globe.
Pinot Noir Taste Profile
Pinot Noir is known for its complex and nuanced flavours, which can vary depending on the region and winemaking style. It often exhibits red fruit notes such as cherry, raspberry, and strawberry, along with floral, earthy, and spice undertones. Pinot Noir wines are typically light to medium-bodied with moderate acidity and low to medium tannins, making them elegant and food-friendly. This allows it to pair particularly well with mushrooms, duck, or pork.

Pinot Noir is widely grown and produced in many wine regions worldwide, with Burgundy in France being one of the most renowned and traditional regions for Pinot Noir production. Other notable areas for Pinot Noir include Oregon and California in the United States, as well as New Zealand, Australia, and Germany.
