Pinot Noir has been grown in Patagonia’s upper Río Negro for around a hundred years. The isolation and alluvial soils mean phylloxera never took root here, so the vineyards that survived neglect are still alive and well. That’s what attracted Piero Incisa della Rochetta to invest in some old plots and help rebuild the reputation of Pinot Noir from this extraordinary region.
From the start of this project, Piero has fully embraced a biodynamic approach which only serves to accentuate the individuality of this terroir. Its innate qualities have already served to attract one of the greatest names in Burgundy, Jean-Marc Roulot, who works with Piero on the Chardonnay to great effect.
