Made from Pinot Noir grapes, it displays a pale red colour with delicate garnet highlights. On the nose, it is clear and defined, characterised by notes of \u003cstrong\u003esmall red fruits\u003c\/strong\u003e such as currant and raspberry, interwoven with hints of black pepper and cloves. On the palate, it stands out for its light yet well-structured body, supported by a pleasant savouriness and a \u003cstrong\u003edefined tannic texture\u003c\/strong\u003e. It finishes with a persistent aftertaste, making it excellent paired with truffle risottos, roast meats, herb-crusted lamb and mature cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine originates from the well-ventilated vineyards of Sequals, in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, at around 270 metres above sea level. The vines thrive on \u003cstrong\u003epebble-rich soil\u003c\/strong\u003e, which, together with significant \u003cstrong\u003etemperature variations\u003c\/strong\u003e, ensures optimal aromatic development of the grapes. These microclimatic conditions preserve the natural freshness, guaranteeing harmony between acidity and structure. The name Primont pays tribute to the local boxer Primo Carnera, reflecting a strong \u003cstrong\u003eterritorial bond\u003c\/strong\u003e, enhanced through careful and sustainable vineyard management.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduction begins with a meticulous \u003cstrong\u003emanual harvest\u003c\/strong\u003e to select only the best bunches. In the winery, fermentation and maceration on the skins take place at controlled temperatures. Gentle daily pump-overs optimise the extraction of polyphenols, while respecting the integrity of the fruit. The wine then undergoes malolactic fermentation to soften the flavour profile, followed by \u003cstrong\u003esix months of ageing in stainless steel\u003c\/strong\u003e. This technical choice preserves the primary aromas and the \u003cstrong\u003elively freshness\u003c\/strong\u003e of the grape variety, offering a clean and immediate sensory expression.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe name Primont is a tribute to the boxer Primo Carnera, a native of Sequals and famous as “the walking mountain”. Just as the champion believed that character is born from the feet, the \u003cstrong\u003eBosco del Merlo\u003c\/strong\u003e winery embodies this principle through its deep connection with the land. Created under the care of oenologist Antonio Lucarelli through \u003cstrong\u003esustainable\u003c\/strong\u003e and organic viticulture, this red wine represents the company’s \u003cstrong\u003eflagship Pinot Noir\u003c\/strong\u003e: an elegant expression of the Friuli DOC that encapsulates the authentic Friulian identity in a light yet highly complex sip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bosco del Merlo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45190309216427,"sku":"56950","price":12.5,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/bosco-del-merlo-pinot-nero-primont-2024_56950_1_6804103d-ca08-4115-a98d-c1c82f388495.webp?v=1773768853","url":"https:\/\/xtriwine.com\/en-ch\/products\/bosco-del-merlo-pinot-nero-primont-2024","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
