Pinot Gris
Alto Adige DOC
Although the Pinot Grigio is a relative of the Pinot Bianco, they are yet quite different – not only because of the copper-coloured berries of the Pinot Grigio, but also because of the characteristics of the wines. The Pinot Grigio is more complex, with more intense colour and notes of banana, vanilla and spices.

Origin
Our Pinot Grigio grows in Branzollo and Frangarto, two villages in the South of Bolzano, one in the valley, the other one on a slight slope, at an altitude of 250 – 300 m. Another part comes from S. Giacomo in Sabbia next to Bolzano at 450 m and from Auna di Sotto at 600 m. In this way, we have a full-bodied, structured, but also minerally and elegant wine.
Vinification
After fermentation at 19°C, the Pinot Grigio maturates in stainless steel tanks. Extreme caution in the vinification makes the typical fruity notes pass from the grape to the wine.
Description
The Pinot Grigio fits very well with fish, starters and not too spicy white meat.

It grows on the sunny, often steep slopes above the impressive ravine of the Isarco river.
The altitude fosters the development of its aroma and guarantees a discrete acidity.
