Tenuta Corte Giacobbe, Pinot Grigio Ramoto 2019

Tasting notes
Unlike other Pinot Grigio, this wine has a unique twist that makes an all-round pleasant. Not only offer the standard set of aromas of fruits and spring wildflowers, this wine has a distinct copper hue, thanks to the special winemaking process which the berries macerate for 12 hours on the skins after the clusters are de-stemmed.Elegant and silk-smooth in the mouth, yet firmly-structured and full-bodied. Beautifully crisp, it progresses regally into a lingering finish.

Gastronomy
An ideal partner with light and vegetarian antipasti, and perfect with 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 de-stemmed, the berries macerate for 12 hours on the skins, giving the wine its quite distinctive coppery hue, and are then 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.
