*Pinot Grigio is a grape variety that originated from a mutation of Pinot Noir, with which it shares distant origins.
VINIFICATION AND REFINEMENT:
The vinification is the typical white wine process with gentle pressing in order not to extract the pink color from the skins. The free-run must obtained is left in contact with the lees for about 12 hours at an average temperature of 13°C. Alcoholic fermentation, thanks to selected yeasts, lasts about 10 days in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 16/18°C. Afterwards, the wine rests in stainless steel tanks at 16°C before being bottled.
STORAGE:
It is a young wine and not for aging, therefore it should be drunk within a few years of the harvest. The bottles should be stored lying horizontally in a cool, dark place.
ORGANOLEPTIC CHARACTERISTICS:
Straw yellow color with greenish reflections. On the nose it is fruity, with hints of hay and jasmine, fine and characteristic. On the palate it is fresh, dry, balanced with a slight acidic note and good aromatic persistence.
SERVICE METHOD:
Use a medium-wide glass to appreciate the intense and delicate aromas of the wine, even capturing the less immediate nuances. The “Rhine” glass is ideal for this type of wine.
Taste at a temperature of about 10-12°C.
FOOD PAIRINGS:
It can accompany an appetizer of cold cuts, fish-based dishes such as seafood, seafood salads, seafood risottos, delicate soups, mushroom dishes, white meats, cheeses, and omelettes. Suggestions: risotto with zucchini flowers and saffron, linguine with lobster, and Vicenza-style cod.

*Garganega is the most important white grape variety in the provinces of Verona and Vicenza, and dominates the hills of the Soave DOC with its typical volcanic soil.
VINIFICATION AND REFINEMENT:
The grapes are destemmed and the must is promptly cooled to 10-12°C for 12 to 24 hours. After pressing, the must is clarified and fermentation begins in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 16/18°C. The wine is then left, every 3 weeks, in contact with the fine lees kept in suspension. The process is repeated for about 4 months until bottling, during which the wine completes its refinement for a period of not less than 2 months.
STORAGE:
It is a young wine and not for aging, therefore it should be drunk within a few years of the harvest. The bottles should be stored lying horizontally in a cool, dark place.
ORGANOLEPTIC CHARACTERISTICS:
Straw yellow color with golden reflections. On the nose it is fruity, with hints of almond and white flowers, fine and characteristic. On the palate it is full, savory, persistent, and with a mineral note conferred by the volcanic soil. Bottle aging increases its complexity and roundness.
SERVICE METHOD:
Open the bottle twenty minutes before tasting to allow the wine to oxygenate and any reductive notes to dissipate. Use a medium-sized white wine glass to best appreciate the golden nuances, and one with a sufficiently wide bowl to fully enjoy the fruity and floral bouquet. The "Burgundy" glass is ideal for this type of wine. Taste at a temperature of about 10-12°C.
FOOD PAIRINGS:
Excellent as an aperitif. It can accompany fish dishes, shellfish, vegetable soups, white meats. Ideal with pizzoccheri, asparagus risotto, oysters, and raw fish.
