I wanted to return to a slightly older vintage to see the aging potential of Paolo Saracco's delightful Burgundy-inspired red. The 2011 Piemonte Pinot Nero is a dark and savory wine that maintains its value-added appeal. Tertiary aromas of tilled earth and licorice now stand before dried cherry and balsam herb. All said and done, this wine has embraced the aging process very gracefully. If you have a bottle, I suggest drinking it within the next 3-5 years.
