About Pinot Grigio

Pinot Grigio was originally introduced to the Adige valley around 1950 in order to produce a Rosé wine. It was only after much progress in oenology during the 1970s that wineries were able to obtain a white wine, rich in flavours, more supple and with a lower acidity. The Terre del Noce Pinot Grigio is produced with grapes from the vineyards along the Adige and Noce river where it finds its ideal habitat, thanks to the fertile soil.

The grapes are strictly hand picked and delivered to the winery within a few hours. Here they are selected and then gently pressed with pneumatic presses. Then the must is cooled at 59-62°F/15-17°C and left to clarify for an entire night. The next day the yeast is added and the alcoholic fermentation is started, at a controlled temperature (61-64°F/16-18°C). At the end of the fermentation the run off takes place and the wine is left on the lees, until it is bottled.
