Pinot Grigio Collio DOC – Simon Komjanc – 2024

The winemaking of Pinot Grigio begins with the pressing of whole grapes, a process that yields a high-quality free-run must. This must is statically decanted at cold temperatures; subsequently, selected yeasts are added to initiate a slow fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures between 16° and 18°C. After fermentation, the wine is racked and left on fine lees until spring, with frequent bâtonnage to give the wine a rich and full texture.

Pinot Grigio presents itself with a light straw yellow color, enriched by a barely perceptible touch of copper pink that makes its appearance particularly captivating. The clarity is impeccable, with lively reflections and perfect brightness. On the nose, the wine offers good intensity with dominant fruity aromas, including apple, pear, and notes of tropical fruits such as banana and a hint of papaya. On the palate, the wine starts dry but with good roundness, evolving into acidic and savory freshness. It is a wine of excellent craftsmanship with a promising future.
