Pinot Grigio delle Venezie DOC
Grown in the perfectly manicured vineyards of Gradisca d’Isonzo alongside the Isonzo river and, in gravelly soil, rich in minerals caressed by marine breezes and cooler Bora winds. A classic Pinot Grigio with great body, thanks to aging on its lees for a short period. Aging exclusively in stainless steel.
