The Pinot Grigio wine of the Jerman winery
The Pinot Grigio wine of the Jerman winery comes from 100% Pinot Grigio grapes grown in the vineyards owned by the winery. We are in Dolegna del Collio in the province of Gorizia. Here the land is called “ponca”; it is a rocky substrate composed of stratified marl and sandstone.
The Jerman winery was the first in Friuli to use the Stelvin screw cap model of the French company Pechiney: the winery chose this very technical closure to keep the fragrance and organoleptic qualities of the wine intact.
THE WINEMAKING
The harvest is strictly manual and occurs in the first days of September, and only the selected grapes are taken to the cellar for winemaking. After the soft pressing, the wine ferments in steel tanks at a controlled temperature. The ageing on the lees also occurs in the same steel tanks and lasts about six months. After blending and bottling, the wine rests in the cellar for a few more months before being placed on the market.
Tasting the wine of the winery
Intense straw yellow with antique pink reflections; the aroma is pleasantly fruity with hints of summer fruit that alternate with citrus notes to close with mineral hints. This Pinot Grigio is soft and dry on the palate with a lovely savoury note; fresh and well structured, even the persistence is not bad!
FOOD PAIRINGS
Perfect with fish, even raw, to try with sushi and fish soup.
