IMPERO Blanc de Pinot Noir. The Impero wine, “Empire” in Italian, is the culmination of more than forty years of experience in the production of a still white vinification of Pinot Noir and moreover the result of the will to produce an important white wine only using the varieties traditionally grown by the family. Since the rst release, with the 1998 vintage, it has quickly become the agship wine of the winery. This wine is produced by softly pressing whole bunches with the utmost care to minimise skin contact and colour extraction. It is barrel fermented, aged in oak for 12 months. It’s a wine with unique characters, with great complexity and extraordinary longevity.
