Fromm La Strada Pinot Noir
Fromm's passion for Pinot Noir is reflected in the attention to detail shown in the vineyard and throughout the winemaking process.

Today in the Fromm stable of vineyards there are eleven clones, 4000 - 5000 vines per hectare, with crop levels around five to six tonnes per hectare. The blend which makes up each years La Strada Pinot Noir by Fromm depends on what nature has given in each of their vineyards.
