SCHIOPETTO DOC COLLIO PINOT GRIGIO 21

The Schiopetto winery is one of the oldest wineries in the Collio region, which includes terraced vineyards between the towns of Gorizia and Cividale with a vineyard area of around 1,600 hectares.PINOT GRIGIO is obtained exclusively from Pinot Grigio grapes, a varietal of French origin, cultivated in hilly areas, in soil which is of average marl composition. The bunches are small with round grapes red – grey in colour, and like Pinot Bianco it derives from a mutation of Pinot Nero. The grapes are hand picked, pressed in a soft press after which there follows a brief period of decantation in total absence of sulphur dioxide.The fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks under a controlled temperature. The ageing takes place on the lees for 8 months.
