About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes come from Castelvecchio in the Gorizia Karst, near Sagrado. The arid, rocky terrain carries only a shallow layer of red earth rich in iron and limestone. The site is constantly ventilated and influenced by the nearby sea.

Grapes

100% Pinot Grigio.

Vinification

The grapes are selected by hand and gently pressed before alcoholic fermentation.

Ageing

Maturation takes place sur lie. The product page identifies concrete tanks, whereas the technical sheet identifies steel tanks.

Technical data

DOC Carso. Organic wine. Bottle format: 750 ml.

Tasting profile

Deep straw yellow with subtle copper reflections. The aroma is fine and intense, led by pear and melon, followed by floral nuances reminiscent of almond blossom. The palate is structured, enveloping and savoury, with delicate notes of apricot and small citrus fruits. The introductory profile additionally characterizes the wine as delicate, floral, full and refined.

Serving and pairing

Serve at 10–12°C. Suitable as an aperitif and throughout a meal, particularly with light dishes; its mineral and savoury character also suits more structured first courses.
