About This Wine
This is 100% Pinot Grigio from the Friuli region in the town of San Martino al Tagliamento. The vineyards are situated at the base of the Alps (which separate it from Austria) and the soils are a mix clay and gravel from alluvial deposits. The key to this region is the difference in diurnal temperature. In the growing season the days are very warm but the nights freezing. This allows a nice, long ripening and wonderful aromatics for the white wines. The Pinot Grigio here can be a lot richer than from the Veneto and Trento. Justin insists on handpicked fruit and in terms of winemaking, further emphasizes the grapes' pulpy richness by allowing 12- 18 hour skin contact in the press. The result is wonderfully pure, textural Grigio with heightened aromatic profile. There is about 5 months maturation on lees in tank prior to bottling.
