Friuli Isonzo DOC Pinot Grigio 2023

Pinot Grigio has been cultivated for a long time in Friuli-Venezia Giulia and has found a very favorable habitat in the Isonzo Valley. This Pinot Grigio by Lis Neris is part of the line of traditional wines, produced from the youngest vines without the use of wooden barrels. It aims to express the varietal purity of Pinot Grigio and of the Isonzo area. The vineyards are located on a deep gravelly layer of alluvial origin in various villages between 25 and 60 m above sea level. The soil is very draining and the climate is mild due to the proximity of the Adriatic Sea and conditioned by the fresh winds blowing from the Balkans.

The grapes are harvested by hand in September. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel vats at a controlled temperature. Aging takes place in steel vat in contact with its own fine lees for 8 months with frequent bâtonnage.
