Sanct Valentin Alto Adige Pinot Nero 2000

San Michele Appiano's Sanct Valentin Alto Adige Pinot Nero is like a gift from the cool climate of Italy's Alto Adige. Made entirely from Pinot Noir, this wine captures the essence of its region beautifully. Opening this bottle is like uncovering a hidden treasure of depth and elegance.

In 'The Drops of God' Volume 4, this wine was introduced as the first candidate for the Apostle by Honma. Remember that scene? It wasn't just any red wine; it carried a special aura right from the moment it was placed on the table, radiating strength and grace.

Pour a glass and you'll see that lovely brick hue at the rim, hinting at its age. The aroma starts with lively raspberry and cherry, followed by complex notes of dried tea leaves and underbrush. On the palate, the tannins glide smoothly like velvet, with a gentle acidity that keeps everything in perfect harmony.

The finish is long, leaving a rich fruitiness lingering in your mouth long after sipping. This wine's elegance and complexity make it perfect for a special evening. Use a larger glass and take your time enjoying it.
