Argyriou Pinot Noir Red

Wine Type: Dry Red

Indication: PGI Parnassos

Varietal composition: Pinot Noir 100%

Wining: After harvesting the grapes, careful destemming is carried out, then crushing without a press and the grape must is transferred to a stainless steel tank where pre-fermentation extraction is applied at 10°C in a reducing environment for 3 days.

Yeast is then added and alcoholic fermentation takes place at increasingly graded temperatures. Before the end of fermentation, the marc is removed in order to avoid unpleasant tannins from the grape seeds.

Fermentation continues until the end, with a temperature release (27-28°C) and then malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks. After the maceration, the wine matures in French oak barrels for 10 months with periodic stirring of its lees. It is not filtered before bottling.

Tasting characteristics: A classic Burgundy grape variety that found refuge on the slopes of Mount Parnassos! Difficult to cultivate, requiring small yields per acre to produce quality wines, as well as in winemaking, which requires precision in the winemaking scheme followed to create a wine of high standards. It is aged in brand new French oak barrels for 10 to 14 months.

Pale red color, characteristic of the variety, accompanied by strong aromas of red fruits, vanilla, strawberry and red berries. Barrel notes, and Pinot aromatics appear best after extensive aeration.

Full-bodied, with dry tannins, dense fruitiness and high acidity and a long aftertaste. It matures for 10 months in French oak barrels and 1 year in the bottle before being released.

Gastronomic combination: Enjoy it with large poultry (turkey) roasted, red meats roasted or cooked with complex and fatty flavors, game and fatty cheeses.

Serve at 16-18ºC.
