You might not be familiar with the name Piero Incisa della Rocchetta, but you're undoubtedly acquainted with the legacy of his grandfather, Marchese Mario Incisa della Rocchetta, the visionary behind the renowned Sassicaia.
Embarking on a voyage far from the landscapes of Tuscany, we find ourselves in Argentina. However, don't let the location mislead you; we're not discussing Malbec this time. Instead, let's dive into the intriguing world of PINOT NOIR.
The story begins in 2001 when Piero experienced a blind tasting of Pinot Noir from diverse corners of the globe. Amidst the collection of wines, one stood out, capturing his heart. "It wasn't just exceptional," he described, "but it possessed the characteristics I had been seeking for a while: intense fruitiness and an enchanting floral essence." Interestingly, this wine hailed from an Argentine region known for its extreme geography and climate, Patagonia.
