Tiāmat Pinot Nero Oltrepò Pavese DOC​

Description :

San Giorgio's name comes from the legend of St. George and the dragon. In Babylonian mythology, Tiamat is the mother of the whole cosmos, the primordial goddess of the oceans and salt waters, and is depicted in traditional iconography as a dragon.
The grapes used to make this wine are hand-harvested from nine separate lots and each lot is vinified separately, following different processes in order to express the specific characteristics of each single terroir.
Part of the grapes are de-stemmed but not pressed in order to keep the grapes intact. 10% of the grapes proceed with whole-cluster vinification. Cold maceration precedes temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks with short pump-overs carried out daily. At the end of the fermentation, the wine is racked, and malolactic fermentation takes place in stainless-steel tanks. The wine ages in French oak barriques and stainless-steel tanks for several months. Then the single parcels are blended, bottled, and released after resting at least 4 months.
