Stefano Lubiana Estate Sasso Pinot Noir 2023 from the biodynamic Derwent Valley estate is a thrilling, small‑production flagship pinot – a single‑vineyard expression that blends the Il Giardino, Ruscello and La Roccia blocks into a deeply perfumed, structured and seriously ageworthy Tasmanian masterpiece.

In the glass, this 2023 Sasso Pinot Noir is intensely aromatic with dark cherries, wild blackberries, rhubarb, cranberry, amaro‑like herbs, orange peel and blueberry bush, layered with exotic spice, gamey nuances, dried shiitake, crushed rock and graphite, all framed by tight, chalky tannins, bright acidity and a long, mineral finish.

On the table, Stefano Lubiana Sasso Pinot Noir 2023 is a natural for roast duck, venison backstrap, aged rib‑eye, porcini‑rich dishes, truffled mushroom tart and hard Alpine cheeses, and its power, purity and whole‑bunch crunch make it just as compelling alongside slow‑braised beef cheeks or a rich, earthy mushroom ragu.
