Gian Luca Colombo - Pinot Nero - Langhe DOC
Description
Overview: My name is Gian Luca and I was born in the Langhe, the place where my passion for wine became a full-time job.
I am a consultant for several producers in the Langhe and winner of the Gambelli Award for Best Young Italian Oenologist in 2014. In 2011 founded Segni di Langa, and as the true garagiste that I am, I make my own wines in the garage underneath my house. In 2017 I decided to put my name on the labels of my own wines. My wines find their origins in the Langhe terroir and they transmit all of my efforts, passion and commitment I put into growing the grapes.
I call myself a farmer, while my wife Alessandra says I am a young entrepreneur! I am an energetic perhaps (and perhaps too fast-paced!). According to Alessandra my strong point is my capacity for communication. I would love for you to discover the fascinating world of wine and share my experiences.
Teh Pinot Nero is my daily bath of humility. Hard to get, honest, sensitive but stronger than those who grow it, this variety in Langa makes any experienced vintner rethink any of their preconceived notions. But it knows how to compensate with its ability to fully transmit the characteristics of the land it grows in.
Tasting Notes: This light and fresh Pinot Noir offers aromas of cranberry and ripe sour cherry that burst out of the bottle. As the wine opens, it discloses notes of dried leaf, herbs and fresh earth. Vibrant on the palate, it has solid core of ripe red fruits that dances rather than weighing you down, making this a fun and easy red.
