Friuli Isonzo DOC Pinot Grigio Gris 2021

Pinot grigio is a French variety (Pinot gris) that is very popular and widespread in the north east of Italy. But Gris is something more than a Pinot grigio wine: it is the quintessence of Pinot grigio according to Lis Neris, obtained from a particularly suitable selected vineyard, as if it were a real "Cru". The soil is gravelly of alluvial and moraine origin on a plateau just 70 m above sea level along the Isonzo valley in the village of Sal Lorenzo Isontino. Like all the wines of the Lis Neris "selections" line, it undergoes a vinification aimed at enhancing the qualities both of the vine variety and the territory.

The harvest is manual in September. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in 500 l French oak tonneau. At the end the wine ages in the same tonneaux for almost a year (11 months) in contact with the fine lees and periodic bâtonnage are carried out to keep them in suspension. This enriches the wine without distorting it.
