Pinot noir from Quebec
CARONE is the only commercial producer in Quebec of Pinot Noir wine. The winery has been transitioning from hybrid grape varieties to vitis-vinifera (noble) varieties since it first garnered success with its Cabernet wine in 2004. By focusing on high quality grape varieties the winery is able to craft intensely flavoured, medium bodied red wine enjoyed by clients throughout the world.
