Grape Variety

Our Alené is produced in purity, which means that the grapes used belong to only one type of vine, Pinot Noir.

Curiosity

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.

Winemaking
