Pinot Grigio

Convivial flavors of bright citrus, light floral and melon move effortlessly into a lingering finish for a wine that is crisp, dry and versatile.

 

Winemaking

After the grapes are harvested in early September, the winemaking process begins as all the grapes are separated from the stems and soft-pressed. The must is immediately separated from the skins and put into steel tanks for fermentation. Fermentation is controlled at about 64°F for 15 to 20 days. After fermentation, the wine is treated, decanted, filtered and refrigerated in order to prevent tartaric precipitation — a process taking a minimum of one month. The aging in steel tanks is for a minimum of two months. Before bottling, the wine is passed through sterile filters.
