The Pinot Nero della Sala 2020 captures the elegance and finesse of Pinot Noir with a distinctly Umbrian character. A brilliant ruby-red hue introduces a nose layered with wild strawberry, red currant, and pomegranate, intertwined with delicate floral tones of violet and a subtle hint of sweet spice from French oak. On the palate, the wine is silky yet vibrant, offering refined tannins, a lively vein of acidity, and flavours that echo the aromatic profile with added whispers of forest floor and black tea. The long, graceful finish leaves a memory of red fruit and a touch of minerality.
Crafted from a warm, dry vintage, this wine shows both early approachability and aging potential; it will continue to evolve beautifully over the next 6–8 years. Perfect alongside herb-crusted lamb, mushroom risotto, or seared duck breast, it also shines with truffle-infused dishes that complement its earthy undertones. A sophisticated choice for collectors and an elegant companion to fine dining.
