PIGHIN PINOT GRIGIO 750ML

Friuli is an ideal region for growing white grapes. It is protected by the Alps to the North and receives sea breezes from the Adriatic Sea in the South. The favorable conditions were known in Roman times when the region was devoted to winemaking. The gravelly, sandy soil forces the roots of the vine to grow deep in search of water. As the vine struggles, its fruit grows richer, resulting in flavorful wine with remarkable minerality. Handpicked grapes are gently pressed immediately after harvest and undergo a cold-temperature fermentation in stainless steel tanks. As there is no malolactic fermentation or oak aging, the wine is a beautiful expression of the Pinot Grigio grape.
