A Vintage of Balance and FreshnessThe 1998 vintage in northern Italy was marked by a moderate, consistent growing season, producing wines with bright acidity, restrained alcohol, and elegant aromatics. For Pinot Nero, these conditions favored wines with a graceful profile and the potential to age into a soft, layered expression.

Mature Aromatics and Silky PalateAfter more than two decades, this Pinot Nero displays a pale garnet color with brick-orange reflections — classic for mature Pinot. The bouquet is soft and inviting, with aromas of dried cherry, wild strawberry, rose petals, forest floor, and gentle spice. On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied, with fine, resolved tannins and bright acidity supporting subtle, earthy flavors. The finish is elegant, smooth, and delicately persistent, highlighting the varietal’s refined character.

Serving and Pairing RecommendationsServe slightly below room temperature (around 16–17 °C) to emphasize its delicate aromatics and light structure. Decanting gently before serving can help open up its mature bouquet. Perfect pairings include dishes such as roast duck, mushroom risotto, charcuterie, or mild cheeses — all of which will complement its earthy, nuanced profile.

A Collector’s Delicate TreasureThe 1998 Pinot Nero Pasqua is a charming and rare addition for collectors and enthusiasts of mature, Old World Pinot Noir. It offers a contemplative, gentle tasting experience that highlights the subtlety and elegance of aged Italian Pinot Nero. Ideal for a quiet evening of reflection or sharing with friends who appreciate delicate, nuanced wines.
