WINE DESCRIPTION

Birichino Saint Georges Pinot Noir is a delicate, lightly aromatic wine sourced from vineyard located in the cool Central Coast California. This region is ideally suited to earlier ripening varieties like Pinot Noir, allowing full flavor development without the risk of losing freshness or acidity. Maturation lasted around 1 year in cement and old french barrels before bottling, unfined and unfiltered. The resulting wine is highly expressive, showcasing the variety and place without the distraction of oak spice.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

Birichino Saint Georges Pinot Noir has a pale ruby appearance fading to a pink rim.On the nose, this wine presents enticing aromas of ripe red berries, such as cherries and raspberries, accompanied by subtle floral notes. These aromas are complemented by hints of flowers and a touch of spice, adding complexity to the bouquet. The palate is smooth and silky, with a medium body that is refreshing thanks to the lively acidity. The flavors of red fruits continue on the finish, with a lovely interplay between sweet and floral notes.

ORIGINS

Winery: Birichino

Region: Central Coast California

The Central Coast of California is a wine lover's paradise, boasting a wide variety of climates, soils, and grape varieties. Located between San Francisco and Los Angeles, the Central Coast spans from Monterey County in the north to Santa Barbara County in the south. With its diverse topography and Mediterranean climate, the Central Coast is home to some of the most renowned wineries in the United States. The Central Coast has a long and storied history of winemaking, dating back to the mid-1800s. The first vineyards were planted in the Santa Clara Valley, and by the late 1800s, the region was producing some of the finest wines in the country. The region's reputation for quality wines was further solidified in the early 1989, when the Santa Clara Valley was declared among the first American Viticultural Area (AVA) in the United States.
