Tasting Notes: Pirrera is a site located at 850 meters, once overgrown with Nerello Masacelese and 10% local varieties that Eduardo has re-cultivated. The name of the Contrada comes from a historic quarry dating back to 1614, whose stones can be found here. The vines are on average 50 years old. Fermented spontaneously, partially with stems and stalks and without temperature control in concrete barrels, it was then aged for 16 months in a 2500 liter Slavonian oak barrel. In this wine you can feel even more lightness and finesse, especially the cool freshness of the high altitude.
