Description
Intente yellow colour with warm coppery reflections, due to the contact with the grape skin at 10°C for 2 hours in the press. Fruity at the nose with hints of golden apple and sweet citrus fruits. Evident notes of wildflowers. In the mouth, a pleasant acidity and fruity flavours with distinctive mineral notes. Balanced and very persistent.

Vinification
Contact with the grape skin at 10°C in the press for 2 hours. We use a Vacuum System Press which is more gentle and causes less damage to the grapes, allowing us to extract only the noble partes. Fermentation in stainless steel tanks, after decanting, Pinot Grigio ages on the lees in steel tanks for 7/8 months before the bottling.
Soil Type
Deep soil, mix of mainly iron-rich clays and gravels, combined with excellent diurnal temperature variation from the warm Adriatic winds and cool night-time mountain breezes.
