Information & Character Pinot Grigio is, oddly enough, a red grape variety but with a very low content of anthocyanins (the molecules that give color to red grapes). To obtain a white wine it is necessary to work with great care to avoid the extraction of pigments in the skin. During the clarification, the must is oxidized to ensure that the wine remains white and to avoid the precipitation of anthocyanins. Due to the lack of maceration and oxidation of the must, the typical expression of the variety is not emphasized and for this reason it is necessary to prolong the fermentation to develop rich aromatic characteristics. Intense and fragrant, with notes of pear and other white fruits, complemented by delicate floral aromas such as jasmine. Crisp and appealing in the mouth, pleasantly full-bodied and spicy.

Production 10-15 days of fermentation and skin maceration at 25-30 degrees in steel tanks.

Soil Lime and clay-rich soil and to some extent sand.

Goes with Perfect with seafood and white meat, as well as spicy food.

About the Producer

The family's encounter with the world of wine begins with Cavalchina, located in an area whose history goes back a long way: in 1848 it was registered and classified by the ruling Habsburg authorities as a wine-growing district, renowned for its superior quality and excellent production consistency. Cavalchina not only has a rich wine history but also has historical significance as it was at the centre of the Italian Wars of Independence I and III.
