【Torre Rosazza Pinot Grigio DOC】
The most celebrated wine in the world, Pinot Grigio has been cultivated in Friuli for centuries with great results that showcase the intense expressivity of the area’s hilly terrain, where local wines acquire intense scents and a good level of concentration.
Grapes: Pinot Grigio 100%
Origin: Oleis di Manzano, company-owned grapes
Soil: Marly and eocenic
Altitude: 120 – 170 m above sea level
Training system: Guyot
Planting density: 4.500 vines per hectare
Grape yield: 7.0 tons per hectare
Winemaking: Whole grapes are placed in the press, where they are softly squeezed. Winemaking occurs in white, immediately separating the skins from the musts, in steel vats at controlled temperatures. Partial ma-lolactic fermentation is then carried out and the wine remains in yeast-filled steel containers for six months. It is then bottled and left to rest for two more months.
The Wine: This straw-colored wine has golden reflections. To the nose, it gives off pronounced floral scents that become fruity, recalling the flavor of apple and ripened pear. The palate will find this wine soft and engulfing as it wisely combines good body with pleasantly acidic nervature, which provides for fresh drinkability. Well-balanced in all its components, this wine has a good level of persistence.
Nose: floral, butter, cream, almond and citrus
Taste: lemon, apple and pear
Combinations: Highly versatile when dining, this wine is an excellent match for white meats and flavorful fish like tuna. It combines well with fish-based first courses and hearty bean soups. Finally, it’s perfect when enjoyed with aged cold-cuts.
【2018 DWWA】
"Medium intense nose with candied fruit and tropical notes. Agile and interesting on the palate, with a good length and mineral character. Ready to drink now but it has a backbone of acidity and concentrated fruit to allow it to improve for a half-dozen more years. Top drawer."
