Pinot Noir carries less tannin and less color than most serious reds, and relies on texture and aroma instead. Red fruit, dried herb and a savory undertone that builds with a little air. The Veneto covers everything from crisp Soave and Prosecco to the dried-grape power of Amarone. This one comes from Italo Cescon. Best just below room temperature. Serve with charcuterie, roast chicken, or soft cheeses.
