Villa Russiz Collio Pinot Grigio 2023

Still white wine from Collio in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, 14% ABV, produced by Villa Russiz. 100% Pinot Grigio. 0.75 L bottle, 2023 vintage. A Pinot Grigio that tells the story of a winery founded in 1868, a symbol of generosity and sentiment. The grapes are harvested entirely by hand, perfectly ripe and in the coolest hours of the morning. They quickly reach the cellar, where the whole grapes are gently pressed. The resulting free-run must, after an initial racking, is placed in temperature-controlled fermentation tanks. It ages on the fine lees for at least 8 months and is then bottled 8-9 months after the harvest. Fine and elegant, fruity and complex, it develops a broad fruit bouquet over time: peach, pear. Notes of wildflowers emerge. Straw yellow. Fresh and savory on the palate, balanced.
