Valravn Pinot Noir 2024Dark cherry and black raspberry lead, with forest floor, clove, and a faint coastal savor underneath. Theres a light touch of reduction on opening, quickly giving way to a fresh, light footed palate with bright acidity, fine tannins.

Papà and Aldo have since passed

It goes on and on

spearmint-like freshness

But because I only got one bottle of these wines

a great expression of the Barolo of La Morra

and craftsmanship captured in the glass

through shifting trends and endless debates about modern versus traditional

Supple and transparent

an ancient Venetian family who moved to Tuscany around 1770

Subtle notes of cocoa nib

In the glass

this means the wine has got great Pinot spice / strawberry fruit character but also has had a chance to fully develop all of Pinot’s glorious complexity
