Details and technical informations about Winery Tenuta Iris's Pignoletto.
Discover the grape variety: Couderc
Simple, colourful and fruity reds with a deep ruby colour, supple tannins and a light palate with moderate acidity, showing aromas of red fruits and discreet hybrid notes. Productive and resistant to phylloxera. Now marginal, it survives in a few heritage plots and French ampelographic collections, a witness to post-phylloxera hybridisation. French black hybrid variety obtained by Georges Couderc at the end of the 19th century.

The word of the wine: Tanin
A natural compound contained in the skin of the grape, the seed or the woody part of the bunch, the stalk. The maceration of red wines allows the extraction of tannins, which give the texture, the solidity and also the mellowness when the tannins are "ripe". The winemaker seeks above all to extract the tannins from the skin, the ripest and most noble. The tannins of the seed or stalk, which are "greener", especially in average years, give the wine hardness and astringency. The wines of Bordeaux (based on Cabernet and Merlot) are full of tannins, those of Burgundy much less so, with Pinot Noir containing little.
