2024 Cincuenta y Cinco Pinot Noir

Tasting notes:

Cincuenta y Cinco is sourced from vineyards planted in 1955 on a sea of pebbles, typical in riverbed soils. It has the highest amount of tension of all the Chacra wines. The whole cluster was fermented at very low temperatures, enhancing the floral characteristics of the wine. Aged for 11 months in used oak barrels. Aromas of freshly crushed strawberry with notes of game and smoke. Medium-bodied and generously fruity on the palate with pure red berry flavours well-balanced with a mineral finish and saline notes.

Producer description:

Piero Incisa della Rocchetta, grandson of Sassicaia's creator, saw the potential of the Mainque area and founded Chacra in 2003. Helped by fantastic Burgundian winemaker Marc Roulot, Piero produces pure, savoury and elegant Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Due to the nature of the environment, the vines are naturally strong and need minimal intervention. All wines are biodynamic and have a natural acidity. Enjoyable in their youth they can also age gracefully and have been scoring consistently high. Pure, savoury and elegant, they are a serious contender for Burgundy.
