The 2023 Lingua Franca AVNI Pinot Noir hails from Oregon's esteemed Willamette Valley, a region renowned for its elegant, terroir-driven expressions of this varietal. This vintage is crafted using approximately 25% whole cluster fruit, with fermentation occurring in small stainless steel tanks through gentle pump overs and traditional foot pigeage. After fermentation, the wine matures for 12 months in a blend of 22% new and 80% old French oak barriques, resulting in a refined profile that opens with enticing aromas of plum, pomegranate, bergamot, and rose.
