Il Cascinone, Avamposti Ventura Pinot Nero, 2024 Swartland Karasakiz is an indigenous grapeA juicy and intense expression of Pinot Noir, with more grippy tannins than you'd expect to find in France definitely more Piedmont than Burgundy. Brimming with vibrant red fruit backed up by earthiness and a touch of spice from a portion of the wine spending some time in oak. Juicy, balanced and a touch savoury serve this with a big bowl of Spaghetti Pomodoro.
