Pinot Grigio 2017
Trade Tools
Global / Veneto
These Pinot Grigio grapes were discovered in northern Italy’s Veneto region, where hillside vineyards sit 750 feet above sea level on well-drained, mineral-rich, volcanic basaltic rock and calcareous clay soils. Hand-harvested grapes are treated gently, from handpicking to the pneumatic press, followed by three weeks of cold fermentation. The wine sees no oak and does not undergo malolactic fermentation, in order to maintain fresh acidity and prominent varietal character.
Harvest Note
Starting at the end of August, grapes are hand-picked from hillside vineyards at 750ft elevation on well-drained, mineral-rich volcanic and basaltic rock.
Tasting Note
The wine is fresh, with aromas of white fruit and apple offset by acacia blossoms and almonds. With a vibrant strcturure and crisp acidity.
