PINOT GRIGIO
TRENTINO DOC

VINEYARD CHARACTERISTICS

Location of the vineyards In the valley bottoms or on hills up to 350 m a.s.l. in breezy areas without stagnant moisture to prevent rot of the grape bunches. The soil is primarily alluvial and very gravelly with a good limestone component that lends the wine freshness and elegance.
Grape variety used 100% Pinot Grigio.
Training system Trentino pergola for the older vineyards and Guyot for the younger ones.

VINIFICATION AND AGEING

Harvest Careful, timely thinning ensures that grape yields per unit of surface area are within the limits established by the production standards. The harvest takes place in early September, choosing the ripest, healthiest bunches and using small containers to quickly transport them to the winery.
Vinification The whole grapes transported to the winery are immediately destemmed and crushed. They are then soft pressed while striving to reduce contact with the air to a minimum. Alcoholic fermentation lasts approximately 7 days and occurs at controlled temperatures between 16 and 18 °C. After fermentation is complete, the wine is cooled and separated from the gross lees.
Ageing The wine is aged for approximately 5 months in steel tanks at a temperature of approximately 10 °C. A portion of the wine is aged on the fine lees, which are kept suspended through periodic stirring.
