Description

2020 Averardo Pinot Noir

by Tenuta Cafaggiolo is crafted entirely from 100% Pinot Nero, grown on south-facing slopes in the Mugello valley of Tuscany. It opens with an elegant bouquet of tart cherry, raspberry, and a whisper of spice, gently interwoven with dried herbs and floral nuances. The palate is plush yet polished—velvety textures carry flavors of wild berries, espresso-laced leather, and a delicate undercurrent of soft vanilla, all framed by medium-high acidity and grippy tannins that lead to a persistent, savory finish. Aged for 12 months in third- and fourth-use French oak barriques, followed by six months in cement vats to refine its purity and structure. It pairs marvelously with grilled red meats, herb-crusted lamb, aged cheeses, and even well-seasoned pastas or charcuterie. Tenuta Cafaggiolo, an estate intertwined with the Medici legacy, practices organic and sustainable viticulture. Their Averardo bottling honors regional tradition and myth, blending modern winemaking methods with varietal finesse to deliver a Tuscan Pinot Noir of rare clarity and elegance.

The Story
expand_more
Domaine Tenuta Cafaggiolo—also known as “Cafaggiolo Terre dei Medici”—is a historic Tuscan estate in Mugello, about 25 km north of Florence, on land long held by the Medici family. Winemaking here dates back to 1465, and the estate now cultivates primarily organic Pinot Nero (Pinot Noir) along with small amounts of Chardonnay and rosé, using natural yeast fermentation, aging in small barrels, and no filtration to preserve aromatics and terroir expression. Their portfolio includes elegant single‑varietal wines such as Averardo, Fortuni, and Pater Patriae (all 100 % Pinot Nero) and a white wine named Elettrice (100 % Chardonnay), each inspired by Medici history and legends, bottled under striking linocut‑style labels reflecting those connections.
