Maculan, Acininobili Vintage:1999 The 2021 Pinot Noir PaulThe profound 1999 Acininobili was fashioned from the same blend as the Torcolato, but was aged two years in 100% new French oak. It represents the pinnacle of sweet winemaking in Italy. A staggering bouquet of creme brulee mixed with aromas of honeyed pineapple, peaches, and acacia flowers is accompanied by a medium gold colored, full bodied wine with great richness, fabulous purity, and outstanding precision given the good acidity. The alcohol is 14.
