Colombo Pinot Nero 2024

Colombo Pinot Nero 2024 is a vibrant, modern expression of Pinot Nero from the rolling hills of Piedmont in northern Italy. Crafted by Colombo Cascina Pastori, this red wine showcases the grape’s elegant, fine-boned character with an Italian accent—bright, aromatic and irresistibly drinkable. It stands out for its combination of freshness, subtle structure and delicate fruit, offering a refined alternative to heavier Piedmontese reds.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, Colombo Pinot Nero 2024 shows a luminous, translucent ruby hue with garnet highlights at the rim—classic for a youthful, cool-climate Pinot Nero. The nose is lifted and precise, offering notes of wild strawberries, red cherries and pomegranate, layered with rose petals, a hint of blood orange zest, and gentle spice tones reminiscent of white pepper and tea leaves. On the palate, this is a medium-bodied, silky red with fine-grained tannins and a lively, refreshing acidity. Ripe red berries and sour cherry take the lead, supported by subtle herbal nuances and a touch of earthiness that nods to its Piedmontese origins. The finish is clean and graceful, with lingering red fruit and a faint mineral edge. While primarily crafted for enjoyment in its youth, over the next 2–4 years it should gain a touch more complexity, softening further without losing its vibrant freshness.

Production
Sourced from hillside vineyards in Piedmont, Colombo Pinot Nero 2024 benefits from a continental climate with significant day-night temperature swings and well-drained, calcareous-clay soils—conditions that help Pinot Nero ripen slowly while preserving acidity and aromatic detail. Grapes are typically harvested by hand to ensure only healthy, perfectly ripe clusters reach the cellar. After careful sorting, fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled tanks to capture the grape’s delicate aromatics, with gentle extraction to maintain a fine, elegant tannin profile. The wine is then matured in a mix of stainless steel and neutral vessels, prioritising purity of fruit and freshness over overt oak influence, before bottling in a style that highlights finesse and drinkability.

Food & Serving
This Pinot Nero is wonderfully versatile at the table. It pairs beautifully with charcuterie, lighter meat dishes such as roast chicken, pork tenderloin and veal, as well as mushroom risotto, grilled salmon, tuna, and earthy vegetable dishes like roasted beetroot or ratatouille. It also complements soft to semi-hard cheeses, including Taleggio, Fontina and mild goat’s cheese. Serve at 14–16°C to emphasize its aromatic lift and freshness; a brief 20–30 minute opening in the glass or a quick decant is enough to allow the wine to unfold its floral and red-fruited nuances.
