The Pinot Nero grape, known as Pinot Noir outside Italy, belongs to the family of grape varietals including Pinot Bianco and Pinot Grigio. While Pinot Nero is commonly used in the production of sparkling wines and champagne, it is also made into a red varietal wine, which tends to be quite fruity with mild tannins and bright acidity.

Tasting notes
Pinot Nero is a wine that is lighter in colour with mild tannic structure but bright acidity. Overall, Pinot Nero is known as a very fruity wine, with berry and floral notes that develop greater complexity as the wine is aged. Older Pinot Nero wines develop spice notes along with tobacco and leather. This complexity will pair well with a savoury and earthy mushroom pasta dish. Also, the lighter tannic nature of Pinot Nero is perfect to not overpower the flavours in your pasta dish.
