Cantina St. Pauls's Riserva-line Pinot Nero. The name combines 'Lehm' (clay) and 'Mont' (mountain) - indicating the soil and altitude that form the wine. Decisive and persistent finish with classic Pinot Nero structure.

What it pairs with

  • Roast duck breast with plum sauce
    Producer notes plum and blood orange on the palate; the wine echoes the sauce while medium tannins balance the duck.
  • Wild mushroom and herb risotto
    Producer notes dried herbs and cloves on the finish; the wine flatters mushroom umami and herbs.
  • Roast pheasant with juniper
    Medium-bodied Pinot Nero for game; the wine's structure carries roasted bird.

History
