The grapes for B&G Réserve Pinot Noir are harvested on the island of Corsica, a respected wine-producing region, although still relatively unknown to many. Few geographical indications are as beautiful as this wine’s IGP Île de Beauté, which means “Island of Beauty.” The island naturally enjoys a Mediterranean climate—warm, windy, with plenty of sunlight—while the cool nights contribute to the wine’s acidity. The grape bunches are destemmed and undergo cold maceration for three days before fermentation, which is carried out with controlled temperature increases and twice-daily mixing of the skins into the juice.
