"Filari di Mazzon" is a black Pinot cultivated on the hill of Mazzon, a village on the left of the Adige valley, at the foot of the "Monte Corno" Natural Park and cradle of this delicate grape variety. The clayey and calcareous nature of the soil is an excellent premise for the production of a Pinot Noir that is savory, round, finely tannic, and fruity with notes of raspberry and blackcurrant. Typical characteristics of Mazzon Pinot Noir are: sweet fruit nose, tastiness in the mouth, and dense tannin.
