Pinot Grigio Friuli Colli Orientali DOC 2022

If it weren't for its name, which recalls France and its noble Alsatian and Burgundian origins, Pinot Grigio could easily be considered an indigenous grape variety of our Northeast. Between Veneto and Friuli, in fact, this illegitimate child of Pinot Noir has found its ideal location. This is demonstrated by wines of great elegance like the one proposed here by Ronco dei Pini. It is not the classic simple and drinkable wine but a Pinot Grigio with character, the result of careful vinification and, above all, of ageing for about 6 months on its own noble lees, with frequent battonage. The result is a pleasantly aromatic wine characterized by a straw yellow colour with obvious copper reflections. The nose has intense aromas reminiscent of bread crust, ripe fruit and a slight hint of almond. In the mouth, however, it is full and enveloping, soft and harmonious. A wine with a beautiful aftertaste persistence, the perfect companion for lunches and dinners based on fish.
