Anselmi Ca-Stele Pinot Nero 2025

Guiseppe Anselmi is based in Friuli, the north-eastern corner of Italy that borders Slovenia and Austria — a region that produces wines of real elegance and aromatic precision. Friuli is the only region in Italy to label its wines by grape variety, and the estate honours that tradition with a focus on varietal purity and freshness.

About This Wine

Friuli's cool climate and Alpine-influenced soils make it one of Italy's most compelling regions for Pinot Nero. This Ca-Stele bottling is delicate and precise — a style that draws comparisons to classic Burgundy, with its subtle fruit profile and earthy complexity. Vinified to preserve freshness and aromatic lift.

Tasting Notes

Colour: Pale ruby with garnet hints
Nose: Subtle blueberry and raspberry with gentle notes of vanilla and a hint of earthiness
Palate: Light-bodied and vibrant with red berry fruit, soft tannins, and a touch of spice
Finish: Smooth and elegant with a classic Burgundy-style earthy note

Food Pairing

A versatile red for the table — excellent with roast chicken, game birds, pork dishes, and aged cheese. Also works well with mushroom risotto and charcuterie.
