When the Pinot Grigio grapes reach peak ripeness, they are harvested by hand and transported to the winery within hours. Here, they are rigorously selected and pressed immediately. Alcoholic fermentation follows at a controlled temperature, which can take between 12 and 15 days. Forty percent of the must is fermented in stainless steel, and the remaining 60 percent in barriques. After fermentation, the wine remains in barriques for another six to eight months. After this, the wines are blended and allowed to rest for a few more months.
The nose of this Pinot Grigio is complex, with notes of white peach, pear, chamomile, and sweet aromas thanks to its oak aging. On the palate, it's a harmonious wine. Elegant and refined, with a fresh and aromatic finish. An ideal wine to pair with appetizers or white meat dishes.
