Pinot Grigio DOC Venezia Amphora

Grapes are single vineyard and grown Biodynamically. It is a selection of the best Pinot grapes of the vintage. After handpicking the grapes are de-stemmed and fermented in Italian Terracotta Amphorae. Fermentation occurs using only the ‘indigenous’ yeast from the vineyard’s own terroir. Once fermentation is complete the Amphorae are sealed and the wine will mature with its skins macerating for around 4 months.
Racked a month before bottling without any filtration or the use of fining agents, therefore the wine may contain  sediment. Zero sulphites were added.

Tasting notes

Colour
Orange with shades of deep rose

 

Bouquet
It has hints of dry/ripe fruits as peach, apricot and nuts, forest floor and earth notes while still remaining fresh. Its complex bouquet will benefit from decanting.

 

Taste
The long process of maceration of the wine in contact with the marc creates a hint of oxidation combined with tannins similar to red wines while maintaining the freshness and flavor of the white.

Pairing suggestion
It has beautiful balance, complementing seafood, salad or a cheese platter perfectly. A  great match for spicy Asian food too.
