2022 Tenuta Travaglino Pernero

“Italy’s Answer to Burgundy — Light, Lush & Lyrical”
📍 Oltrepò Pavese, Lombardia, Italy

🍇 The Story
In the rolling hills of Oltrepò Pavese—where Alpine breezes meet limestone soils—lies Tenuta Travaglino, one of Italy’s oldest wine estates. Pinot Noir, or Pinot Nero in Italian, thrives here thanks to the cool climate and high elevations. “Pernero” is their ode to purity: hand-harvested fruit, minimal intervention, and a deep respect for place. Aged in stainless steel to preserve freshness, this isn’t a Pinot trying to be French. It’s proud to be Italian—lithe, juicy, and utterly charming.

👃 Tasting Notes
On the nose, expect a burst of crushed cherries, red currants, wild violets, and a gentle whiff of peppery spice. The palate is silky and light-bodied, yet alive with juicy acidity and fine tannins. It finishes clean, pure, and savoury—with a whisper of earth and rose petal.

🍴 Food Pairings
This is a food-lover’s Pinot: perfect with roast duck, mushroom risotto, charcuterie, or even tuna carpaccio. Serve slightly chilled on warm nights, or let it open up in a big glass with your favourite antipasto board. Ideal for long lunches, date nights, or pizza with truffle pecorino.
