Imperial Vin Pinot Noir “Reserve Amphora” is a dry red wine produced in southern Moldova. It’s made from 100% Pinot Noir grapes, grown on fertile slopes there. The wine is matured for
12 months in French oak barrels, part of the Reserve (“Amphora”) series by Imperial Vin. The style aims for medium body, balanced acidity, and finesse rather than power.
Tasting Notes:
-

-
Aroma: Red fruit (cherry, raspberry), soft berry notes, with hints of oriental spices and gentle oak.
-
Palate: Smooth and fruity; fresh red fruits up front, balanced by oak maturation, soft tannins, with a velvety mouth-feel.
-

Serving Suggestions:
Serve at ~16-18 °C in a medium-size red wine glass. Pairs nicely with light meats (poultry, pork), soft cheeses, mushroom dishes, or simple pasta. Also good to enjoy on its own after decanting a little to let the aromas open up.
