Only the best grape bunches are selected, based on vine health, cane maturity, bunch maturity, fruit flavour, tannin ripeness and seed maturity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWinter 2021 was the wettest winter Pizzini had seen in 10 years, with slow steady rains helping to penetrate the soil and provide good moisture to the vine roots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA cooler than usual summer allowed vines to spend more time in the optimal temperature range for flavour and phenolic development. Pizzini describes 2021 as a “vintage year”, where optimal conditions resulted in high quality and reasonably high yield.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter harvesting, the whole bunches were crushed and de-stemmed into small fermentation vats and inoculated with Barolo yeast, allowing maximum varietal characters to come through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFermentation was allowed to reach and maintain 30°C, lasting seven to ten days. The wine was then lightly pressed and transferred to French oak barrels for 12 months, before being transferred to aged 1000-1200 litre casks for a further six months prior to bottling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eProducer Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeep garnet red in colour with a classic orange hue typical of this variety. Complex aromas of dried roses, violets, spice, dark fruits, earth and an underlying tarriness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe palate is rich and powerful with flavours of star anise, dark berries, chocolate, tar, black tea and mandarin rind. The textured tannins and full flavour make for a wine of great poise and structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnjoy with spiced pork ribs, game meats or aged cheese.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVintage: 2021\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrape Variety: 100% Nebbiolo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRegion: King Valley \/ Victoria \/ Australia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClassification: Tier 5 - Pinnacle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVineyard \/ Geo info: Highest vineyard site on Pizzini's King Valley property at 350m ASL; Nebbiolo 230 clone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYield: 45 Hl\/Ha\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArea harvested: 0.5 Ha\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHarvest date: April 2021\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAverage brix: 25\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFermentation: Whole bunches crushed and de-stemmed into small fermentation vats; inoculated with Barolo yeast; fermentation maintained at 30°C for 7-10 days\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaturation: 12 months in French oak barrels, then six months in aged 1000-1200 litre casks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFermentation vessel: Oak barrel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOak type: Used Gamba French tight grain 300-500L barrels and 1200L cask\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFiltration: Clarifying only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlcohol: 14%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcidity TA: 6.53 g\/L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcidity pH: 3.55\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBottled: September 2023\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: July 2026\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Nelson Wine CO.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52310557196590,"sku":"2741198181","price":141.64,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/6596\/6894\/files\/PizziniCoronamentoNebbiolo2019.png?v=1783400300","url":"https:\/\/www.jcfinewines.au\/products\/2021-pizzini-coronamento-nebbiolo-750ml","provider":"JC FINE WINES","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
