Harvest & Vinification:
The grapes for this exceptional Pinot Grigio are hand-harvested, with Trebbiano di Soave picked in mid-September and Garganega harvested in October. After being gently destemmed and crushed using a pneumatic press under nitrogen saturation, the free-run juice undergoes fermentation in glass-lined concrete tanks at controlled temperatures between 14-18°C. This low-temperature fermentation preserves the wine’s fresh, aromatic character.

Ageing:
The wine rests in glass-lined concrete tanks on its fine lees for 5-9 months, allowing for depth and complexity. After aging, the wine is bottled and allowed to mature for at least one more month, ensuring its smooth texture and balanced finish.

Tasting Profile:
This Pinot Grigio presents a brilliant pale lemon color with a delicate nose that evokes citrus blossoms, yellow flowers, and wet stones. On the palate, it is dry and crisp, with vibrant flavors of lemon, green apple, and a hint of sea foam. The wine finishes with a subtle, refreshing minerality that enhances its clean and invigorating character.
