Domaine Nico – one of Laura Catena’s projects – is revealing the potential of Pinot Noir in Uco Valley's Tupungato. La Savante hails from Gualtallary (1,400m above sea level) where the soil is mostly sand and stone with a calcareous layer underneath. The subtle but complex aromatic profile features sour red fruit, rose, mushrooms and hints of truffle; while the flow is voluminous and refined with good freshness and polished tannins.
