Here's a dark and surprisingly generous expression of this delicate French grape (made with an all-Italian soul). The 2015 Alto Adige Pinot Nero Mason offers more power in the mouth, comparatively speaking next to the bouquet. The nose shows wild berry and cassis, but it's also shut down at first. The wine is silky and broad in terms of texture. There is a note of ripeness too that recalls apricot and tangerine skin. The finish borders on feeling flat and heavy.
