Tasting Notes

What is remarkable about this Pinot Grigio is undoubtedly its slightly pink colour, reminiscent of the grapes from which it is made. The nose is fruity, slightly floral and pleasant; particularly crisp and balanced palate.

Vinification Details.

Harvesting time is established by means of tests which measure the degree of ripeness of the bunches. After an accurate selection carried out in the vineyard, the grapes are destalked, crushed and the must including the skins is immediately cooled to around + 8 °C. Before pressing, 4-5 hours' cold (+ 8 °C) maceration is carried out in total absence of air in order to encourage extraction of the aromas from the skins. It is precisely during this stage of the winemaking process that the copper colour is extracted. Once maceration has been completed, the crushed grape mass is softly pressed using bladder presses and the must fermented in stainless steel at a temperature of around 18 °C. There follows a short period of refinement in stainless steel before bottling, in order to enhance the wine's crispness and fruitiness.

Producer Information

Founded back in 1966 when a collection of small independant Italian wine growers joined forces to share their skills and knowledge, and export their wines to the world. Today Caviro is the leading Italian wine Co-operative consisting of 36 partner wineries and over 18,000 wine growers throughout the leading wine regions of Italy.

Regional info.

The Vallagarina valley, which is the stretch of valley the River Adige runs through south of Trento, features a climate with hot summers and a good difference between day and night temperatures during the ripening period. The climate and soil conditions in this area contribute significantly to the particular characteristics of the grapes produced here which, if skilfully vinified, produce particularly crisp wines with wonderful aromas and balanced palates.
