Marchesi Pancrazi Pinot Noir Toscana “Monte Ferrato” IGT
Bright ruby red, with fascinating transparency. The nose is fragrant and fresh in the memories of crispy red fruit. The palate is enveloped by a great finesse, in which the tannin is soft and blended to the middle body and to the fruity taste.
Marchesi Pancrazi’s philosophy is to produce distinguished Italian Pinot Noirs
