Guest Posted July 19, 2018 Posted July 19, 2018 Birthday dinner with my wife !!! Villa Cornaro Pinot Grigio of the Veneto IGT WINE The vinification of Pinot Grigio begins with a soft pressing of the grapes and with an immediate cooling of the pressed grapes. The fermentation is carried out at controlled temperature with the help of selected yeasts varietal and follows a skin maceration of a few hours at 10 ° C. After fermentation, the wine must be kept in steel at rest on its own yeasts, until its use. Before bottling it is advisable to carry out clarifications and well-targeted filtrations, in order to obtain a more pleasant and harmonious product. ORGANOLEPTIC CHARACTERISTICS Noble wine obtained from the best grapes of Pinot Grigio from the sunny vineyards cultivated on the gravely soils of eastern Veneto. The particularity of the soil combined with the extraordinary mastery of our master winemakers give life to this magnificent Pinot that offers delicate sensations of exotic fruit to the nose, and a fresh and well-balanced taste with harmonious fruity notes on the palate. Finely mineral, it has medium body and excellent aromatic persistence. GASTRONOMIC COMBINATIONS It enhances its characteristics when it accompanies seafood and grilled fish in general. Excellent also with white meats and steamed vegetables. SERVICE TEMPERATURE 10 ° C ALCOHOL% VOL 12 Quote
