The 2007 Pinot Nero Riserva Praepositus offers up sweet red cherries, spices, flowers and French oak in a rich, New World style. There is wonderful pliancy and expressiveness to the fruit. This mid-weight yet generous Pinot delivers tons of pleasure and elegance. Sweet, refined tannins frame the long finish. This is a gorgeous effort from Abbazia di Novacella.
