Tenuta Corte Giacobbe, Pinot Grigio Delle Venezie 2020

Tasing notes
Appears a luminous straw yellow with green highlights. On the nose, beguiling scents of blossoms and fruit, such as syrupped pear and banana. In the mouth, fine mineral salt-acidity balance, with a lengthy, vibrant vein of earthy minerality, gift of its valley terroir of origin.

Gastronomy
An ideal partner with Antipasti, lighter meats and fish.

Vineyards
Vineyards in the hills area of Roncà, on the slopes of two extinct volcanoes, Calvarina and Crocetta, east of the town of Soave. From the summit, at 500 meters elevation, one enjoys a breath-taking view that extends east as far as Venice. On the upper slopes, the terraced vineyards alternate with generous swaths of woods, largely acacia trees. The harvest, which generally takes place in the last week of August, is carried out exclusively by hand, with careful quality-selection of the clusters

Aging method
After the clusters are gently pressed, the must is gravity-settled for clarity, then inoculated with cultured yeasts; it ferments at a temperature of 13°C in order to preserve the classic varietal fragrances. A minimum of 3 months in steel tanks, with once-weekly bâttonage of the fine lees, followed by a minimum of 45 days’ bottle-ageing.
