Pinot Grigio
Bright straw yellow, fruity aromas, full-flavored, crisp, and mineral.
The Pinot Grigio grows at an altitude of 230 metres above sea level in a vineyard overlooking Lake Kaltern. The marked difference in temperature between day and night is the key to its pronounced aromas of apricot, lemon and pear, with hints of almond. On the palate, the wine is lively, fresh and full-bodied, with a stimulating acidity. It’s expressive with a juicy finish.
Manual harvesting and selection of the grapes. Gentle pressing and pre-clarification by sedimentation. Fermentation under controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks (90%) and a small portion in used French barriques without malolactic fermentation (10%). Followed by ageing on the fine lees.
