Domaine Takahiko Nana-Tsu-Mori Pinot Noir 2022

Domaine Takahiko is the Yoichi estate of Takahiko Soga, second son of the family behind Obuse Winery in Nagano. After studying fermentation science at Tokyo University of Agriculture he joined Bruce Gutlove at Coco Farm & Winery in 1998, came to Yoichi in 2002 as Coco Farm's vineyard manager, and founded his own domaine in the Nobori district in 2010. The Nana-Tsu-Mori vineyard, about 4.6 hectares of Pinot Noir, is farmed organically; the cellar is a small converted barn, and grapes are fermented as whole clusters with wild yeast, with sulphites used only when needed.

Nana-Tsu-Mori Pinot Noir is the domaine's flagship from its own vineyard: whole-cluster fermented in resin tanks with a long maceration on the skins, then aged around 12 months in barrels that are mostly old.
