Vineyard and terroir
The vineyards lie in Oltrepò Pavese, in the province of Pavia, Lombardy, at 200 to 400 m above sea level. The cool climate and varied soils give the wine its fruitiness and clean mineral character.
Vinification
The grapes are harvested from late summer to early autumn. After gentle pressing, the must is chilled and then fermented in stainless steel tanks at 18–20 °C to preserve freshness and fruitiness.
Tasting profile
Fresh and light, with a distinct citrus freshness, fruitiness and a clean mineral character. Pinot Grigio from Pavia tends towards a lighter body and is often compared with wines from the same grape in better-known northern Italian regions.
Serving and pairing
Suited to fresh fish, seafood and vegetables, and to drinking as an aperitif.
