Cavit Pinot Noir Pavia IGT (75cl, 12.1%)

Cavit Pinot Noir is a red wine made entirely from Pinot Noir, from Pavia IGT in Northern Italy. It is fermented for six to eight days at a controlled 30°C in small stainless steel vats, then rests on its lees in larger oak barrels until malolactic fermentation is complete, before further ageing in large receptacles at 55–60°F. On the nose it shows black cherry, red berries and a subtle earthiness. The palate is silky with cherry fruit, bright red berry notes, soft tannins and medium body, with a gentle earthiness. The finish is medium in length, with lingering cherry and berry.
