Pinot grigio

Acate, in the province of Ragusa. This grape prefers terrain that is typically sandy and sloping, and with lots of sunlight.  The type of farming is “Espalier”, used with an average density of planting where there are 4500 plants per 2.5 Acres.

100% Pinot Grigio. The sustainably grown Pinot Grigio is harvested in the middle of August, at night, to preserve the natural acidity and freshness of the grapes and avoid the extraction of colour from the skin. An extremely soft pressing is also performed to avoid extraction of colour. After natural decanting, the fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 16 °C for ten days. The wine is fined on its lees for over five months.

Colour:  Light straw yellow
Bouquet: Hints of fresh fruit such as white peach and pear mix with hints of flowers like chamomile.
Flavour:  Average acidity, pleasant creaminess, pleasurable minerality and freshness.

Pairs well with antipasto of raw fish, sushi, and shellfish. Versatile at the table, excellent with most kinds of fried food.
