Ratings & Reviews
Vineyard

100% Pinot Grigio from a south-east facing terraced hillside.

Vinification

The grapes were harvested by hand and gently pressed in a pneumatic press. With the use of specially selected yeasts the vinification took place in modern stainless steel tanks with the temperature of fermentation controlled below 20° C. For the following 7 months the wine was left in contact with the fine lees. The wine has not gone through malolactic fermentation, in the effort to retain the original fruit aromas.
Total acidity: 5.10 g/l. RS: 0.6 g/l. Total Sulphur: 80 mg/L

Tasting Note

Brilliant straw yellow color. Aromas of banana and peach pulp with hints of yellow flowers. Full bodied on the palate with a fragrant tropical fruitiness. The pronounced acid structure cleanses the palate and has a long finish. It is a wine with great balance.
