Product Notes

The Zorzal EGGO Filoso Pinot Noir is an exceptional Argentinian red wine with distinguished character. Composed in concrete egg fermenters, this wine boasts an unusual production process, bringing forth pure, tantalising flavours. This sultry Pinot Noir is medium-bodied with light, silky tannins. Its bouquet reveals indulgent notes of red fruit, particularly raspberry and strawberry, interlaced delicately with spice and a hint of earthy minerality. The palate is delightfully fresh and vibrant, reflecting the cool-climate vineyards it originates from. The Zorzal EGGO Filoso Pinot Noir offers a truly sophisticated drinking experience with its natural complexity and elegant finish.

Tasting Notes

An intense Pinot Noir, in which the calcareous terroir is perfectly distinct with aromas of gunpowder, graphite and chalk. On the palate it has an incredible texture, electric and sharpness, from which it gained its name of Filoso (sharp) in Spanish. A wine of great length and persistence.
