Winemaker Notes
“Tesoro” meaning treasure in Italian exemplifies the elegance and finesse of our flagship Pinot Noir. Harvested by hand from carefully selected vineyards, our Tesoro was patiently aged for 18 months in French oak before resting an additional year in the bottle. Earthy notes are accompanied by aromas of raspberry and black currents.
Food Pairing Notes
Pinot Noir is the best varietal for food pairing because of it's flexibility. A carefully seasoned Rib Eye Steak is perfect but it is equally satisfying with Roast Pork with herbs and fennel or dishes featuring Brie or Gorgonzolla cheeses.
