Product story told with
To us, wine means identity and sharing and we hope that Alené can be a part of your happiest moments, embodying our family's passion and the uniqueness of our land, the Oltrepò Pavese.
Our Alené is produced in purity, which means that the grapes used belong to only one type of vine, Pinot Noir.
The term "Pinot" seems to derive from "Pigna", specifically "small pine cone", indicating both the small size of the bunch and the characteristic of having dense berries, just like the scales of a pine cone.
