Aromas of freshly cut hay and slight hints of guava lead into more subtle notes of pear. On the palate, the wine is balanced with perfect natural acidity that reveals the refreshing yet subtle flavors of litchi and green apple. This wine reflects the ripe, succulent Pinot Grigio flavors that the grapes show on the vine. Enjoy as an aperitif or pair with almost any seafood or light pasta dish.Our Pinot Grigio comes from the rolling Piacine hills of San Benito AVA, where the well drained limestone soils pair well with a moderated climate and precision viticulture. The valleys in this region help channel cool air from the cold Pacific Ocean only 20 or 30 miles away from the vineyard, thus reducing day and night time temperatures. Well suited to Pinot Grigio, the region is often cooler than many parts of the Napa Valley, yet receives the same amount of sunlight, preserving the bright acidity and developing the expressive aromatics of the grape.After the dramatic end to the 2017 vintage the 2018 vintage was a return to normal, although a normal we've not seen in years. Mild conditions throughout flowering meant fruit set was extended and successful, ultimately leading to high yields slowing down ripening. The hot temperatures in July and August relented from September onward. There were no late season heat spikes or serious harvest rain events which meant the hang time of the grapes could be extended. The result was naturally balanced wines, lower in alcohol that retained good amounts of natural acidity. This was one of the longest harvests we've seen since 2011, starting on the 31st of August and ending on the 5th of November and can be summed up as a "Classic" vintage. Definitely one to follow closely.

WINEMAKING equals The grapes are partially dried on the vines before the harvest, this operation takes place 2 – 3 weeks before hand picking and concentrates the sugars within the grapes. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at temperature controlled between 15 – 17 Degrees C for 15 days. Before the end of the alcoholic fermentation a part of the must is transferred in barrique of second use in order to finish the fermentation and the Malolactic fermentation is also allowed (it is instead avoided for the remaining fermented must that stays in steel tanks by lowering the temperature). The 2 wines are then assembled and transferred in steel tanks where they remain in contact with their lees for approximately 2 months. COLOUR equals Straw yellow with a tinge of green. BOUQUET equals Perfumes of chamomile, tropical fruits and hints of toasting. FLAVOUR equals Balanced on the palate, with an almond aftertaste which is characteristic of the Garganega variety. Great structure with crisp and bright acidity, which ensure ageing potential and evolution. RECOMMENDED WITH equals This Soave pairs well with antipasti, delicate dishes such as tagliolini with shrimp of seafood risotto, as well as fish entrees such as seabass and crab. SERVING TEMPERATURE equals 10 – 12 degrees C.
