Braised pork loin cutlets with thyme-lemon<br />

sauce<br />

Deep plum in colour with a brick hue around<br />

the edges, 2013 San Pietro in Avenano is<br />

showing delicious development. The mellow<br />

bouquet has autumnal aromas with leaves,<br />

woody notes and smoke over a cherry<br />

background. It is concentrated and smooth<br />

with a dense mid-palate balanced by a juicy<br />

acidity, conferring freshness and potential<br />

for further aging. Grapes from San Pietro’s<br />

Casi vineyard grown at 400 metres were<br />

harvested by hand and fermented in old<br />

wooden casks. The wine was kept for an<br />

extended period on skins then racked into<br />

concrete tanks for malolactic fermentation.<br />

Half the wine was aged for eighteen months<br />

in large Slavonian oak casks and half in<br />

small old oak barrels.<br />
