Alto Adige Pinot Grigio 2022

The Pinot Grigio grape comes from France, but is widespread in Italy in the north-eastern regions and loved for its pronounced and full taste, rich in fruity flavors. The Pinot Grigio grapes of this white wine from Kaltern winery come from hilly vineyards between 300 and 450 meters above sea level in the surroundings of Lake Kaltern. The vineyards face south and east and have a clayey limestone soil. The microclimate is mild thanks to the proximity of the lake and conditioned by the winds: during the day the Ora del Garda blows from the south and brings warm air, while during the night the cool wind descends from the mountains which lowers the temperature causing significant daily temperature variations. These factors make it possible to obtain a full-bodied Pinot Grigio with fresh and fruity aromas.

The grapes are harvested by hand. The whole buches are pressed to extract the must which is clarified by natural decantation. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in thermoregulated stainless steel vats. The wine then ages on the lees for 3 months in steel tanks. After filtration it is bottled. The closure is a screwcap.
