Grapes
Pinot Grigio.

Vineyard
The fields of the Estate, in the municipality of Buttrio (Udine).
The soil is predominantly marly-clayey.

Vinification
White wine vinification method with immediate separation of the must from the skins and soft pressing. Controlled temperature fermentation (18°C) to encourage the development and preservation of the primary aromas.

Ageing
First in a “sur lies” tank and in the bottle, stored in our underground cellar.

Appearance
Straw yellow colour with slightly coppery undertone.

Nose
Delicate with fruit hints of Golden apple and floral hints of Sambuca and almond tree. The final is pleasant with distinctive citrus fruit and rind of grapefruit aromas.

Palate
Dry, fresh, full-body and enveloping. Harmonious and refined, the aftertaste is pleasantly mineral with marked varietal aromas.

Food pairing
An excellent aperitif and hors d’oeuvres wine, it is ideal served with raw and cooked seafood, fish, crustaceans and clear soups.

Longevity
Reaches maximum expression of the vine in the first two years and can easily exceed four years in the bottle.

Service
This wine is best served chilled (12°C).
