Winemaker Notes
Our Pinot Grigio is crafted from 91% Pinot Grigio grapes and 9% Chardonnay from Trentino, harvested at optimal maturity levels. The wine was made "in bianco" or "in the white," referring to the vinification process that transforms the blue-gray colored berries into delicate white wine. A soft pressing was used to enhance flavor extraction while imparting minimal color from the skins. The juice was fermented in temperature-controlled tanks and a selection of specific yeast was added at a temperature of 20ºC. To intensify the tropical fruit characteristics read more...of the wine, 4.5% of the blend (3% Pinot Grigio and 1.5% Chardonnay) is surmaturo grapes, which are grapes that are left on the vine longer than normal, allowing the juice to develop greater concentration and complexity from the extended hang time. After settling, the wine was cold stabilized, filtered and bottled under sterile conditions, avoiding malolactic fermentation and preserving the fruit characteristics of the wine.
Tasting Notes
This wine has a clear, straw yellow color, with light golden reflections. A low concentration of surmaturo grapes gives the wine tropical fruit notes that make this unique vintage truly exotic, with apple and pineapple aromas and flavors. The wine is full bodied, with a pleasantly soft palate and a long finish.

- Mass market pinot grigo that I love. It is crisp and refreshing, not a lot of sweetness. Perfect in the summertime.
