Product Description:
From the Winemakers' Website: The growing area comprises that recognized optimal for production of typical Pinot Grigio quality wines, where the variety performs best in alluvial soils, in the valley floor & on alluvional cones. WINEMAKING:: The selection of low yielding clones & thinning out grapes to restrict yields per vine are per-requisite for the production of perfectly ripe grapes, which in turn are indispensable for high quality. The berries are gently stammed (thought not broken), softly pressed & subsequently fermented in stainless steel tanks using temperature control, a practice now considered indispensable for producing quality, fruity white wines. After fermentation the wine is matured on the fine lees to enrich it with interesting complex secondary aromas, characteristics which will develop after a few months in the bottle.
