Pinot Nero Veronese SANDE BIO FASOLI GINO

“Sande” is one of the most iconic and rare wines from the Fasoli Gino winery and represents one of the greatest expressions of Pinot Noir in the Verona area. It is born from 100% Pinot Noir grapes from a historic vineyard cultivated with very low yields, located on slightly sloping clay and limestone soils, a characteristic that contributes to the aromatic concentration of the grapes. The production is extremely accurate and follows a traditional and lengthy process. The harvest is manual and takes place between the end of August and the beginning of September. After harvesting, the grapes are subjected to a period of wilting which further concentrates their sugars and aromatic substances. Fermentation takes place in conical oak barrels with maceration on the skins and manual fulling for approximately 15 days. Subsequently, the wine ages in barriques for a very long period, up to 36–48 months, depending on the vintage, before further evolution in the bottle.
