Red wine from Japan — Nagano, Japan
PINOT NOIR 2023 DRAGON (Red)
KUSUNOKI winery / Nagano, Japan

About this wine
The 2023 vintage has been released as the second Pinot Noir from the top cuvée "Dragon" line by KUSUNOKI winery, the first since 2020. Crafted with grapes harvested in Nagano Prefecture, it was carefully made while facing the hot weather of that year, and has reached its current form through aging in old barrels. This full-bodied red wine, which offers finesse, elegance, and power, is a special bottle born from a fruitful harvest.
It holds wonderful potential, ready to be enjoyed right after opening to confirm its capabilities, or aged for 10 years. Why not savor its exquisite aroma and taste in your glass?
As an option for a quiet evening at the end of your day, why not open this wine? Take your time to savor the expression this newly released 12% alcohol red wine will reveal in your hands.
