In the glass

What it pairs with
-
Steak au poivre
Pepper crust and the wine's spice and warm tannin meet directly. -
Grilled fish
Pinot Nero's medium body lets grilled tuna or salmon lead. -
Roast duck
Duck's richness needs the wine's acidity; the cherry fruit echoes a Morello compote. -
Mature cheese
Producer-suggested ageing-of-cheese pairing; the wine's mineral persistence handles cheddar-style firmness.
History
The Pinot Nero Riserva Abtei Muri is sourced from Appiano Monte vineyards at 500-600 m, where calcareous soils and altitude favor Burgundian varieties. The Riserva designation indicates extended barrique raising and is part of the monastery's modern white and red Riserva program.
