Questo vino
Vineyard and terroir
This youthful expression of Pinot Grigio comes from estate vineyards in Collio and Colli Orientali del Friuli, using vines under 20 years old. The hilly soils are Eocene marl, the vines are trained to bilateral Guyot and the yield is 70 q/ha.
Grapes
100% Pinot Grigio.
Vinification
The grapes are picked manually between the last decade of August and the first decade of September. Gentle, rapid pressing limits colour transfer from the dark skins and preserves the classic straw-yellow appearance. Fermentation lasts 10–12 days in stainless-steel tanks at 15 °C.
Ageing
Five months in stainless steel followed by at least two months in bottle.
Technical data
The 2019 wine has 12.50% alcohol, 4.93 g/L total acidity and 1.0 g/L residual sugar.
Tasting profile
Straw yellow with golden highlights. The lively aromatic profile combines exotic fruit with rose and other floral-petal notes. The palate is rich and mouth-filling, with medium body, fruit and mineral character.
Serving and pairing
Serve at 11 °C. Pair with pasta dishes based on eggs and/or vegetables.
Label / history
First produced in 2014, it was conceived as a young, fragrant interpretation of Pinot Grigio adapted to Friuli.
