Structured wine suitable for long aging, Casè Riva del Ciliegio is a Pinot Noir with quite distinctive taste. The altitude of the vineyard and the soil composition (clay and limestone) produce a dry, sharp and mineral wine. The maceration period and the aging in wood barrels adds structure and complexity to a wine that can evolve more than 10 years in the bottle, giving a different and surprising result every year. The grapes come from the highest part of the vineyard, mostly composed of rocks
