One of these wines is Corte Giara Pinot Grigio, a single-variety Pinot Grigio produced near Lake Garda, in the Italian region of Friuli-Venezia Giulia, in vineyards located 200-250 metres above sea level. These vines have an average age of 25 years old and are planted on low density moraine soils. The grapes are harvested once they reach optimum ripeness and in the winery the whole bunches undergo a gentle pressing. The resulting must then ferments in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature. It is left to refine here on the lees for 4 months and the wine undergoes partial malolactic fermentation. Finally, it rests for another 2 months in the bottle before being sold.
Tasting notes:
Colour: Straw yellow in colour.
Aroma: Light and delicate on the nose, characterised by a subtle elegant floral nuance followed by hints of golden delicious apples and distinctive vegetal notes
Palate: Dry and medium-bodied, the palate faithfully reflects the nose, being tangy and satisfying, while at the same time simple and exceedingly enjoyable.
