Region: Friuli, Italy  
Varietal: Pinot Grigio  
Year: 2022 

Winemaker Notes: 

"Golden-yellow color. The aroma is fresh and inviting, with notes of banana and passion fruit.  Savory on the palate, as terroir, with an intriguing freshness that gives drinkability and complexity. Very persistent and consistent taste to the nose. 

The wine is obtained exclusively from Pinot Grigio grapes, a varietal of French origin, cultivated in hilly areas, in soil which is of average marl composition. The bunches are small with round grapes red-grey in color, and like Pinot Bianco it derives from a mutation of Pinot Nero. The grapes are hand picked, pressed in a soft press after which there follows a brief period of decantation in total absence of sulphur dioxide. The fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks under a controlled temperature. The aging takes place on the lees for 8 months." 

Alcohol: 13%
