The wine Pinot Grigio Collio DOC from the Simon Komjanc winery
The Pinot Grigio from Cantina Simon Komjanc is an excellent example of how Friulian winemaking tradition can blend with enological innovation to produce high-quality wines. Located in the heart of Friuli Venezia Giulia, the winery leverages the unique characteristics of the region to create wines that best express the peculiarities of the grape variety. Pinot Grigio is a versatile and refined wine, capable of accompanying a wide range of dishes thanks to its freshness and aromatic complexity.
A wine that represents a balance between tradition and modernity, capable of satisfying even the most discerning palates.
The Winemaking
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.
Tasting the wine
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.
Food Pairings
Ideal for accompanying sauced, baked, or grilled fish, it also pairs perfectly with cured meats that have a balanced fatty component. Its versatility makes it suitable for multiple occasions. It is recommended to serve the wine at a temperature of 11-12°C to fully appreciate its organoleptic qualities.
