Pinot Grigio DOC Confinis – Francesco Rotolo – 2023

The wine Pinot Grigio Confinis from Francesco Rotolo winery

This Pinot Grigio, like all Confinis wines, is relatively young; in fact, the winery was founded in 2017 from the will of Francesco Rotolo, who, in addition to being a young winemaker, is also a son of art; in fact, his family created two wineries, Mario Schiopetto and Volpe Pasini.

Francesco selected a few hectares of hills between Capriva del Friuli and Cormons where, thanks to his experience, he wants to create fresh and pleasant wines with low alcohol content.

The Pinot Grigio, which is a vine known and drunk all over the world, finds the perfect soil in Friuli to grow. It is a fresh vine with a charming aromatic structure.

THE WINEMAKING

The harvest is strictly manual and occurs at the end of August. Once in the cellar, the must ferments in steel for a period ranging between 10 and 12 days at a controlled temperature of 15/16° C. The wine ages in steel for about seven months, and after bottling, it rests in the cellar for a few months before being placed on the market.

Tasting the wine by Francesco Rotolo

Brilliant straw yellow. The aroma is fresh with pleasant notes of exotic fresh fruit such as banana, giving way to passion fruit. Also fresh on the palate with an excellent correspondence between aromas and flavours. Persistent

FOOD PAIRINGS

Excellent as an aperitif, it goes well with baked fish, white meats, vegetables, and eggs.
