Delle Venezie DOC

Production area Pinot Grigio was introduced in the Adige valley around 1950 to produce a Rose’ wine. It was only after strong enological progress in the 1970s that wineries were able to obtain a white wine rich in flavors, more supple and with a lower acidity.This delightful Pinot Grigio is produced from small vineyard plots surrounded by the magnificent Italian Alps, in northern Italy, an area that is steeped in tradition with legendary castles, towering mountains and pristine valleys.

Grapes Pinot Grigio

Vinification The grapes are strictly hand picked and delivered to the winery within a few hours. Here they are selected and then gently pressed with pneumatic presses. Then the must is cooled at 15°-16° C and left for an entire night to clarify. The next day the yeast is added and the alcoholic fermentation at controlled temperature (16-18°C) is initiated. At the end of the fermentation the runoff takes place and the wine is left on the lees, for about 4 – 6 months.

Alcohol content 12%
