Red wine from Japan — Nagano, Japan
Pinot Noir 2020 (Red)
VILLA D'EST winery / Nagano, Japan

About this wine
From VILLA D'EST winery, based in Nagano Prefecture, comes "Pinot Noir 2020 (Red)", a dry, medium-bodied Japanese wine from the winery. Crafted with an alcohol content of 12% and a volume of 750ml, this product is one of the winery's signature red wines, delivered to the market from its origin in Nagano Prefecture with meticulous craftsmanship.
Among the PINOT NOIR grape, which is notoriously difficult to cultivate, Tomi City is gaining attention as one of Japan's most promising regions. This is a commemorative vintage, marking the 15th release since its first vintage in 2006. Aged in barrels for about a year before bottling, it features a delicate color with layered aromas of red fruits, black tea, and cloves.
While possessing a delicate and elegant structure, its moderate acidity draws out a long finish, resulting in a complex taste. This is a bottle perfect for moments when you want to experience the history of confronting a challenging grape variety and the depth brought by Nagano's terroir.
