Le Rosse Pinot Grigio 2022

DOC delle Venezie

Download

This Valpolicella Pinot Grigio can be described as sitting between the richer, more concentrated Pinot Grigio from Friuli to the north, and racier styles from the Veneto at large. The nose is spicy with hints of tropical fruit, the flavors clean and crisp, and the body round and soft with a crisp finish.

Vineyard

Le Rosse is one of the four main sub-plots of the Prunea estate, and is planted entirely to Pinot Grigio grapes. The vineyard rows are planted extremely close together and receive intense pruning, resulting in low yields and excellent richness. All grapes are harvested at night, to retain maximum freshness and acidity.

Winemaking

The wine is fermented entirely in stainless steel tanks, where it remains for 4 months.

Tasting Note

A bright straw yellow with pale green reflections, on the nose it offers notes of ripe pears and golden apples, evolving in the glass with delicate hints of hay and almonds. On the palate it is dry and well-balanced, with a particularly fresh, tangy finish.
