NAME
Pinot Grigio grapes minimum 85%
Chieti hills area – Maiella slopes
Origin of the vine Originally from Burgundy (bud mutation of Pinot Noir) and the French name “pinot” derives from “pin” which literally means “pine” due to the shape of the bunch like a small pine cone. While most Pinot Gris-based wines are white, it is not a white grape, and is reddish-gray or coppery when ripe. Pinot Grigio wine may undergo color variations on the basis of the winemaking techniques used: from fermentation without the skins, we obtain a wine with lighter tones, while if the fermentation takes place in close contact with the skins, the wine has a coppery color with a tendency to rosé.

IN THE BASEMENT
Vinification Harvested by hand at the beginning of September in order to maintain its rather high degree of acidity and obtain a rather uniform skin color that gives the wine the typical “onion skin” color. The original coppery/pink color is preserved as the company does not use bleaching coals on this wine. Fermentation with native yeasts is carried out at a controlled temperature. The maturation at the end of fermentation on the good lees gives it complex and important tones.
IN TASTING
Appearance Coppery color with pink reflections linked to the vintage and the state of ripeness of the grapes.
