Description One of the world’s more known and widespread grape varieties, that found home in Collio thanks to the mild climate and the “ponca” soil, that permits to obtain a Pinot Grigio characterized by great elegance and minerality. When its color tends to coppery, the wine becomes even more interesting and structured.

Vinification Traditional white vinification, with a soft pressing with preumatic press and short crio-maceration, static decantation of the must, fermentation at controlled temperature (18°C) in stainless steel vats.

Tasting notes Straw-yellow with coppery shades. Quite high alcoholic content, elegant body, medium acidity. The bouquet is delicate and clearly defined, with an elegant note of apricot skin.
