Vineyard and terroir
Pinot Grigio comes from Guyot-trained hillside vineyards in Alto Adige and Trentino. The technical sheet gives an elevation range of 300–800 metres, while the wine page gives 350–800 metres. Exposures range from south to southwest. The deep, rich soils contain clay and silt and derive from erosion of the mountain above.
Grapes
Pinot Grigio.
Vinification
The must ferments at controlled temperature, almost entirely in stainless-steel tanks, with a small quantity fermented in barriques. The components remain separate during fermentation and maturation.
Ageing
The wine matures on its lees for approximately four months. It reaches its best expression after a further three to four months in bottle.
Technical data
Yield: 60 hl/ha. Production: 40,000–45,000 bottles. Recommended serving temperature: 12–14 °C.
Tasting profile
Intense straw yellow. The floral bouquet recalls acacia blossom, sage and hay, alongside almond and sandalwood. With sufficient bottle maturation, notes of lime blossom and honey emerge. The palate combines finesse, elegance and freshness.
Serving and pairing
Pair with pasta, rice and grain dishes, vegetable-based preparations, or plainly grilled white meats.
