Tenuta Mazzolino Pavia Blanc de Noir 2020

Tasting Notes

I had the pleasure of trying this with the winemaker and importer in the shop and was thrilled to try the wines from Tenuta Mazzolino. This was days after a tasting in the store with one of the top winemakers in Champagne working through their range. Thankfully with that context in mind this Blanc de Noir really stood out to me! The quality of the Pinot Noir or "Nero" is evident in this wine and still retains the hallmark salinity I saw across all of the Tenuta Mazzolino wines which acted as this magic seasoning to help the wines explode on the palate. This has all the classic red fruit characters that you expect with a Blanc de Noir that come together offering an almost baked blueberry and apple crumble character. Think good butter and heavily salted pastry though! Delicious! - Pete L
