These sites feature volcanic soils with morainal deposits, providing excellent drainage and mineral content. The cool climate, characterized by significant diurnal temperature variations, allows for slow ripening, preserving the grape’s acidity and enhancing aromatic complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eGrape Varietals \u0026amp; Percentage Used\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e100% Pinot Noir\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eVinification \u0026amp; Aging Methods\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eAfter destemming and gentle pressing, the must undergoes a brief cold maceration. Fermentation occurs over 14 days at a controlled temperature of 25°C. The wine is then aged for 12 months, with two-thirds maturing in large 35-hectoliter casks and one-third in barriques, allowing for malolactic fermentation. Following barrel aging, the wine spends an additional 12 months refining in the bottle before release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eABV (Alcohol by Volume)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e13.5%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe 2021 St. Daniel Pinot Nero Riserva presents a medium-intense garnet red color.
