This Pinot Grigio is created by Villa Russiz winery located in prestigious Collio area of Friuli. The white wine is straw-yellow colour, fine and elegant, fruity and complex. The nose expresses a wide array of fruity and flowery aromas: peach, pear, wild flowers. Pairing suggestions: suitable to accompany starters, buffets and fish or vegetable pasta or rice dishes.
Vinification: when fully ripe, the grapes are hand-picked in the coolest hours of the morning. They quickly reach the cellar, where the whole grapes are lightly pressed. The free-run must produced is first decanted, then collected in temperature-controlled fermentation tanks. The wine remains on its fine lees for at least 6 months and is then bottled 8 months after harvesting.
