Light in body but bursting with flavour! Juicy raspberries, wild strawberries, and tart cherries dance playfully across your palate, creating a vibrant and mouthwatering experience. A gentle touch of spice—think cinnamon, a hint of clove, and maybe even a dash of white pepper—keeps things lively and full of intrigue. Beneath the fruit, you’ll find delicate earthy notes, like damp forest soil after the rain, and a whisper of dried rose petals that lingers on the finish. It’s fresh, charming, and oh-so-satisfying—like that effortlessly fun friend who always lifts the mood and brings joy to every gathering. A wine full of character, brightness, and charm.

Some wines make bold statements, while others speak in whispers—and Matteo Braidot Pinot Nero is the kind of wine that charms its way into your heart with subtle sophistication, beautiful complexity, and undeniable allure. Elegant, juicy, and packed with personality, this pinot nero wine is a delightful expression of Italy’s version of Pinot Noir: a wine that’s as graceful as it is flavourful.

Produced in Northern Italy by Matteo Braidot, a winemaker celebrated for crafting approachable yet expressive wines, this bottle showcases the lighter side of red wine while delivering surprising depth. With a juicy mix of red berries, subtle spice, and floral elegance, matteo braidot pinot nero is the perfect companion for every day moments and special occasions alike.

A Lively Dance of Flavour – Tasting Notes

From the moment this wine hits the glass, you’re treated to a brilliant ruby red colour that hints at the vibrancy within. On the nose, there’s an immediate burst of juicy raspberries, wild strawberries, and tart cherries—like walking through a sun-drenched fruit orchard.

As you sip, these bright red fruits come alive across the palate, joined by playful hints of cinnamon and clove, which add just the right amount of warmth and complexity. What sets this pinot nero apart is its delightful finish: a touch of earthiness reminiscent of forest soil, softened by the subtle perfume of rose petals.

This balance of light body, juicy acidity, and gentle spice creates a wine that’s lively yet elegant, making every glass feel like a celebration.

The Italian Expression of Pinot Noir

If you’re used to the French version of Pinot Noir, this Italian counterpart offers something both familiar and refreshingly different. Known in Italy as pinot nero, this grape thrives in cooler regions such as Friuli-Venezia Giulia—where Matteo Braidot crafts his wines with care and sustainability at heart.

Unlike heavier reds, this pinot nero wine is lighter in body but not in character. It offers great drinkability without compromising on flavour or structure. It’s smooth, fruit-forward, and food-friendly—a trifecta that makes it one of the most versatile reds around.

What About Pinot Nero White?

While the term pinot nero white might raise a few eyebrows, it refers to a fascinating winemaking technique: vinifying Pinot Nero grapes as white wine. Although the matteo braidot pinot nero we’re featuring here is a red, it’s worth noting that Pinot Nero’s adaptability means it can also be crafted into elegant whites or sparkling wines, particularly in Northern Italy.

This version, however, sticks to the red tradition—bringing you all the red fruit goodness you’d expect from a classic pinot nero wine, with a uniquely Italian flair.

Pairing Ideas – Light, Elegant, and So Easy to Love

Because of its fruit-driven profile and soft tannins, pinot nero pairs effortlessly with a wide variety of foods. It shines brightest when served slightly chilled, and it’s ideal for moments when you want something flavourful but not overpowering.

Here’s what it pairs beautifully with:

• Roasted poultry – Think herbed chicken or turkey breast with cranberry glaze.
• Grilled salmon or tuna – The light body of the wine complements oily fish beautifully.
• Mushroom risotto – Earthy, creamy, and totally delicious with pinot nero wine.
• Charcuterie boards – Prosciutto, salami, soft cheeses like brie or taleggio.
• Pasta with light tomato sauces – Or even a classic Margherita pizza.

Whether you’re hosting friends or enjoying a quiet night in, this matteo braidot pinot nero adapts to every setting.

When to Pour – Occasions Made for Pinot Nero

Some wines feel like events unto themselves, and pinot nero is definitely one of them. Its approachable nature and refined character make it a go-to choice for so many situations.

• Dinner parties – Impress guests with a wine that’s elegant but not intimidating.
• Romantic evenings – Light some candles, prepare your favourite dish, and let the wine do the talking.
• Casual catch-ups – A relaxed hangout with friends calls for a wine that’s easy to sip and enjoy.
• Book club nights – Fruity and light, it won’t overpower snacks or the conversation.
