Pinot Nero Giorgio Odero 2016 Oltrepò Pavese DOC - Frecciarossa

Giorgio Odero 2016 – Frecciarossa

Frecciarossa is one of the historic estates of Oltrepò Pavese: founded in 1919 by Mario Odero in Casteggio, it is now run by the Radici Odero family and certified organic. Giorgio Odero, the founder's son, was among the first in the area to vinify the best crus separately.

Giorgio Odero is the estate's flagship Pinot Nero, named after him: it comes from a selection of grapes from the Casteggio vineyards, on clay-limestone soils, and ages for a long time in large wooden casks and stainless steel before resting in bottle.

With some years behind it, the 2016 shows the typical evolution of Pinot Nero: ripe red fruit, forest floor, balsamic and spicy notes, fine tannins and good persistence. Serve at 16-18 °C with white meats, cured meats, mushrooms and medium-aged cheeses.
