The winery is located to the north of Montalcino, embedded like a natural amphitheater into the beautiful hillside of Montosoli. This unique geography has made the region a favorite destination for the wealthy of Montalcino in the 18th century.
The vineyards spread over 16.5 hectares (41 acres) planted to 100% Sangiovese.
4 hectares are located on the Pinino estate with a southern exposure and galestro soil. The remaining land is located on the Canchi estate with a southeastern exposure and soils consisting of a mix of clay and limestone.
The requirements for the vinification of Pinino wines is based on the primary product - the grapes. Pinino's philosophy is to achieve high quality through reduction of the harvest per grape vine by clipping shoots and grape selection. The grapes are picked by hand and transported only in small crates to avoid squashing. In the cellar, traditional methods are supported with modern technology and the use of new fermentation tanks.

In the far northwest corner of the Sonoma Coast appellation, near the town of Annapolis, the vineyard sits just five miles from the Pacific Ocean, and provides a poignant setting for producing pinot noir with elegance, great precision, and intensity.
Review:
The 2021 Pinot Noir Goldrock Estate is a deep, saturated ruby. Fresh aromas of wet rocks, black raspberry, and pressed flowers lift from the glass, with a touch of spice. Medium to full-bodied, it has good structure, with fresh acidity and notes of crunchy red cherry and fresh pine, as well as fine tannins. Its perfume lasts right through to its clean, lifted finish. This is a lovely wine to drink 2025-2040.

The 2021 Pinot Noir Goldrock Estate is deep, rich and explosive. Dark red cherry, pomegranate, blood orange, menthol, spice and rose petals are all amplified in this dramatic Sonoma Coast Pinot. The complexity and intensity here are simply unreal. Give this time, there's a lot of wine in the glass.

Our family now produces three different-colored wines there: red, white and rosé.

Harvest : Machine harvesting in the cool, early morning
Maceration : Skin-contact maceration for several hours, depending on ripeness, and pressing
