Pinot Grigio Delle Venezie DOC 2021
Trade Tools
Italy / Delle Venezie
In northern Italy’s Delle Venezie region, the Pinot Grigio vines are planted to hillside vineyards situated 750 feet above sea level, where they benefit from well-drained, mineral rich, volcanic basaltic rock and calcareous clay soils. After handpicking, the grapes were gently guided through a pneumatic press, followed by inoculation with selected yeasts and three weeks of cold fermentation. Malolactic fermentation was avoided to promote fresh acidity, and the wine is not oak aged, allowing the grapes’ varietal character to remain prominent.
Harvest Note
The 2021 vintage started with cool temperatures in April and May that gave way to perfect conditions in June and throughout the summer that provided the warmth the grapes needed for healthy ripening. As a result, the harvest yielded high quality grapes with concentrated flavors and excellent structure.
Tasting Note
Caposaldo Pinot Grigio features a dry, crisp, vibrant texture with medium body and delicate aromas of apples and peaches further enhanced by acacia blossoms and almonds on the palate and a clean, crisp, vibrant structure.
