Pinot Grigio Riserva Giatl
€32.00
Grapes: Pinot Grigio – Alto Adige DOC
Origin: This wine, full of character, comes from selected individual vineyards in
the location Giatl, stocked with vines grafted to slow growing rootstock and
trained on wire trellises (Guyot). This extraordinary Pinot Grigio flourishes under
outstanding climatic conditions on sandy alluvial soils with calcareous gravels in
the valley floor around the center of Cortina s.s.d.v. The favourable location of
the vineyards, ideal sunshine, and the good ventilation of the berries assures the
excellent quality of the grapes of this varietal, that is also a representative of the
Burgundy family.
Yield per hectare: 45 hl.
Vinification: The grapes are pressed and the stems are removed in the
pneumatic tank press. Before being pressed, a short cold maceration takes place
in order to enhance the fruitiness of the wine. Afterwards, the grapes are gently
pressed and clarified through the natural settling of sediments. The alcoholic
fermentation takes place in small and large casks of French oak (12 months) and
stainless steel barrels (6 months), in which this particular wine acquires
complexity through its aging and ripening on the yeast. After bottling, several
further months of aging takes place for completion before this unique white wine,
furnished with its ultramodern bottle, goes on sale.
Characteristic properties: In addition to a balanced color, this wine possesses
a very rich bouquet, giving the clear impression of a wine of conspicuous
harmony. This is a wine that after many years of cellaring becomes even more
enjoyable.

Bouquet: inspiring fruity, a powerful bouquet of ripe fruits, a wide array
of aromas (pear, tropical fruits, and fine wood flavor)

and white meats
