Traveling in style
Always be well equipped when traveling… Here is our pinot noir survival kit
China
Along with the whole wine industry, Pinot Noir in China is growing. Terroirs are very young and wine grower are still experimenting with where to plant what.
Pinot noir is mostly grown in Ningxia region, where the dry and sunny climate seems to be good for the delicate pinot noir. It is also grown in some domains in Mountainous Yunnan Regions, where the altitude also seems to have good terroirs.
Italy
Pinot noir, or pinot Nero in Italian, is mostly grown in the Northern Area of Italy. Those regions are called Trentino and Alto Adige (South Tyrol, Süd Tirol in German). Its a montainous area, with altitude providing the cool weather needed as well as sun exposure needed to grow a good pinot noir.
