I was left in utter disbelief in front of this 23-year-old wine. The 1992 Pinto Nero Case Via seems so much younger than it really is. The wine burst from the glass with huge energy and a fresh, buoyant personalty. Fontodi added Pinot Nero vineyards in 1985 and selected a one-hectare plot adjacent to a shadily line of trees. This helps to keep the berries from ripening too fast during the hot Tuscan summer months. Vinification is applied with a gentle approach with 20% whole clusters in conical oak fermenters. The bouquet offers bright berry nuances and there is a clean vein of fresh acidity that runs throughout. Given how shockingly well this wine has aged, I am at a loss when it comes to assigning a drinking window for this gorgeous wine. I'll give it ten years, although I suspect it will last longer than that.
