FOCARA Pinot Noir is produced from a traditional red vinification, then aged in barrel for 12 months. The area of Focara has distinguished itself over the years for the production of Pinot Noir with a strong personality and the typical character of this grape variety. The quality and history of this wine was acknowledged in 2000 through the creation of the D.O.C. Colli Pesaresi Focara Pinot Nero. Pinot Noir from the Rive Monte vineyard is produced and bottled with its own label Rive.
