Attems Pinot Grigio D.O.C. 2023
On the nose the aroma is clear and exuberant; wildflowers, cedar and Williams pear with sweeter hints of cocoa butter and vanilla. Tasting confirms the lively sensations perceived in the aromas, a salty acidity gives the taste a dynamic quality and leads us to the finish of white pepper and citrus peel.
Details
Grape: Pinot Grigio.
Colour: It has a beautiful straw-yellow colour.
Production Area: The vineyards are located between the plains and slopes in the Province of Gorizia, at an average altitude of 60 m above sea level
Soil: composed partly of Eocene sandstone, formed when the sea bed lifted 50 million years ago; partly of naturally moist clay-rich soil, and partly of deep soil with many pebbles.
Method: spurred cordon and Guyot
Harvest: By hand, the first 15 days of September.
Technique: The grapes were gently pressed as soon as they arrived in the cellar. The resulting juice was left to decant for 24 –48 hours. Subsequently, the clear must began its alcoholic fermentation, which took place at low temperatures (15–17 °C) for 15 days. Vinification was carried out in steel containers and barriques (10%), keeping the wine at low temperatures and avoiding malolactic fermentation. After fermentation, the wine rested on the noble lees, regularly resuspended.
Best Serve: 10-12°C
Pairing: Roast poultry and rabbit, even lamb, grills, and stuffed meat dishes.
