Pinot Nero
Wine with a brilliant ruby red color. On the nose, red fruits - morello cherry, blackberry - combine well with spicy notes of white pepper and cinnamon, and with nuances of dog rose and dried rose petal. The taste is dominated by red fruits, especially plums, and by the beautiful freshness. A wine of great elegance.

How to read it
Taste-aroma intensityCalendula
The power and clarity of the aromas: how much the wine speaks to the nose.
SavourinessSalt
The salty, mineral note that makes the wine savoury and dynamic.
Acidity and freshnessApple
The freshness that cleanses the palate: more acidity, a livelier sip.
TanninsPersimmon
The astringency that dries the mouth, from the skins' tannins — like an unripe persimmon.
PersistenceStopwatch
How long the flavours linger after the sip: the length on the palate.
AlcoholWhiskey
The warmth and body of alcohol: the higher it is, the warmer and fuller the wine.
SoftnessHot chocolate
The enveloping roundness on the palate, without edges — soft as hot chocolate.
The story
They saw it grow before their eyes, that company of which they today represent the "beating heart". Alberto Faggiani and his wife Erika Barbieri, in fact, are part of the entrepreneurial plan of the engineer. Sergio Stevanato from the beginning, from the "first turn of the key" of what is today one of the most appreciated wineries in the Collio: Tenuta Stella. He on the agronomic side, she on the oenological side: they are complementary, at work and in life. Together, they manage approximately 15 hectares of land, which mainly host native vineyards, cultivated according to the organic method, with the certification required in 2016.
