Wines made from Pinot noir grapes of Planalto Catarinense
Discover the best wines made with Pinot noir as a single variety or as a blend of Planalto Catarinense.
Elegant reds, light in colour with silky tannins, showing strawberry, cherry and raspberry aromas, evolving to forest floor, mushroom and spice with age. Fresh acidity, delicate finish. Star of the Côte d'Or (Romanée-Conti, Chambertin, Volnay), pillar of Champagne (Blanc de Noirs) and signature of Oregon, Central Otago and Sonoma Coast. An early-ripening Burgundian variety, one of the world's greatest.
Brazilian IP in the coldest and highest region of the country (Santa Catarina, around São Joaquim, Bom Retiro and Lages), vineyards between 900 and 1,400 m. Slow maturation promotes balance and finesse. Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc lead in whites: taut and mineral with citrus, stone fruits and a floral touch, lively acidity. Pinot Noir is the fine red king with cherries, raspberry and silky tannins.
