The sweetness of the fruit dominates the attack, but it does have more to say, with little fine tannins activated by acidity giving a juicy gourmandise. Simple but very delicious.

Piero's 'village' wine is an absolute beauty. Elegant red fruits and a sublime, more mineral - almost saline note make this glide across your palate in graceful and pretty way. There is a real sense of finesse, perfectly balanced earthy notes vie with the softly pert fruit.

You always get good grunt with the Pinots from Lehnert Veit and this is no different. Pungent and slightly animal with distinct damson and cranberry fruit on the nose, with just an undercut of dusty spice.
