Franco Serra Pinot Nero 2021

Franco Serra is produced by the Sperone family who have been making affordable premium wines for four generations. In 1911, Antonio Sperone opened a small wine shop in Torino where he sold bulk wine directly to consumers. Unsatisfied with the quality and price of the local wine, Antonio started his own winery in Puglia and built a bottling facility in Torino. He was soon able to offer his customers quality wines at prices everyone could afford. Sadly, it had to close during WWII. The winery in Puglia survived the war and enabled Antonio’s grandson Giacomo to open a new facility in 1965 near Milan where he produced vermouth, sparkling wines, spirits and fine wines. In 1983, the family purchased 75 acres of prime vineyards in Piedmont and built the current winery in the small town of Mombaruzzo just outside Monferrato.  

Aromatic with rose petal and violet notes, this Pinot is light-bodied and dry, with bright cherry, strawberry, and raspberry flavors, followed by soft, silky tannins.
This is a versatile wine that will complement anything from fresh cheeses or spaghetti to grilled fish or braised lamb.  13% ABV
