Stefano Lubiana Sasso Pinot Noir 2020
Sasso means stone and while the fruit that ends up in the Sasso comes from our stoney grey gravel soils, this is a barrel selection wine, chosen in the winery not just in the vineyard. Steve progressively tastes the barrels as they are aging and marks the ones that he finds most intriguing. Often the tightest, shyest barrels, they are the ones with the most longevity and potential.
We have three unique blocks of Pinot Noir. The fruit chosen for the Sasso is grown from these. The three to five best-performing barrels are selected to produce a mid-weight wine with soft, savoury tannins and well-balanced acidity. It’s a style that we have always enjoyed making and drinking. The wine is only produced in exceptional years, with the 2020 being the ninth year of Sasso Pinot Noir production. – Steve & Monique Lubiana
