Selective manual harvest from early to mid-September. Fermentation mainly in a stainless steel tank (80%) as well as in a large oak cask (20%), with subsequent malolactic fermentation. The two wines are blended in March.
This Pinot Grigio has a fine, creamy nose of ripe pear, melon and delicate almond. A sense of creaminess and texture continues on the palate thanks to the subtle use of oak. Fine acidity lends additional tension and freshness. The body is grippy and elegant without any hint of opulence.
The grapes come from various vineyards situated near the centre of San Michele at elevations of between 400 and 550 metres. These sites enjoy a southerly to south-easterly aspect on soils consisting on limestone gravel and moraine debris. The vines are 10 to 30 years old.
