Domeniul Coroanei Segarcea Prestige Pinot Noir Red Wine

Domeniul Coroanei Segarcea Prestige Pinot Noir is a dry red wine with expressive fruit flavours and elegant balance. Aged for 6–8 months in French oak barrels, it retains the grape variety's characteristic finesse while gaining subtle notes of wood and vanilla.

The palate is harmonious, with rounded, perfectly integrated tannins that create a smooth and enjoyable drinking experience. This Romanian Pinot Noir showcases the terroir of Segarcea through aromatic clarity and a well-defined structure.

The mechanically harvested grapes were crushed and left to macerate and ferment in piston-operated fermentation tanks for ten days. The alternating downward movement of the pistons is a traditional winemaking technique that allows for greater extraction of colour and tannins. The wine was then aged for 6–8 months in new and second-use French oak barrels.

The aromatic profile is dominated by red fruit, particularly ripe cherries and pomegranate, layered with delicate hints of vanilla and liquorice derived from ageing in new and second-use French oak barrels. The texture is supple, with rounded, well-integrated tannins, while the balance between fruit and oak creates a clean finish.

Winemaking involved ten days of maceration and fermentation in piston-operated tanks, a traditional technique that enhances the extraction of colour and tannins. The result is an expressive wine that retains the characteristic delicacy of Pinot Noir.
