Nose
Inspiring fruity, a powerful bouquet of ripe fruits, a wide array of aromas (pear, tropical fruits, and fine wood flavor).
Palate
In addition to a balanced color, this wine possesses a very rich bouquet, giving the clear impression of a wine of conspicuous harmony. This is a wine that after many years of cellaring becomes even more enjoyable.
Growing Conditions
This wine, full of character, comes from selected individual vineyards in the location Giatl, stocked with vines grafted to slow growing rootstock and trained on wire trellises (Guyot). This extraordinary Pinot Grigio flourishes under outstanding climatic conditions on a stony, sandy and extremely chalky soil in the valley
Winemaking
The grapes are pressed and the stems are removed in the pneumatic tank press. Before being pressed, a short cold maceration takes place in order to enhance the fruitiness of the wine. Afterwards, the grapes are gently pressed and clarified through the natural settling of sediments. The alcoholic fermentation takes place in small casks of French oak in which this particular wine acquires complexity through its twelvemonth aging and ripening on the yeast. After bottling, several further months of aging takes place for completion before this unique white wine, furnished with its ultramodern bottle, goes on sale.
