Grapes are single vineyard and grown Biodynamically. It is a selection of the best Pinot grapes of the vintage. After handpicking the grapes are destemmed and macerated in stainless steel for a night before they undergo fermentation using only indigenous yeasts. This wild-fermented Pinot Gris was matured in French oak 500 liters barrels remaining on lees for 10 months resulting in increased weight, richness and creamy mouth-feel creating a textural and savoury element to the wine.
Minimal sulphur was used prior to bottling. The perfect expression of the Mediterranean climate and the unique terroir close to the Venetian lagoon.
