The Pinot Noir or Pinot Negro, in Spanish, is the quintessential red grape variety of Burgundy, a region located in northwestern central France. In fact, Pinot Noir has led this French wine region to be one of the most famous in the world of wine.

Pinot Noir is today one of the varieties that have traveled the most outside its original borders. Thus, it is adapted in different wine regions, especially in cold ones. This varietal is behind wines of light color, medium body and few tannins, which is due to its fine skin and low levels of phenolic compounds. It is considered to produce some of the most elegant wines in the world. But, on the other hand, it is a difficult variety to grow and to vinify, since the grape tends to produce tight clusters, which increases the risk of putrefaction and makes its vinification more complicated.

As a grape for mono varietal wines, it is one of the most appreciated worldwide. It is also part of the assembly to produce another very famous wine in the world: Champagne.
