Edi Kante is one of the great uncompromising winemakers of the Carso, the rugged limestone plateau between Trieste and Slovenia. He is best known for whites (Vitovska, Malvasia, Chardonnay), but in select vintages he releases a tiny amount of Pinot Nero from high-elevation vines planted on pure karst. The Selezione is his top tier - small lots chosen in the cellar, aged three years in 250L French oak (only 10% new), then another two years in bottle before release. The result is a Pinot Noir unlike anything else in Italy: cool, mineral, perfumed, and saline, with the bottle age already integrated.
