Viticulture

Fruit for 13 Celsius Pinot Grigio was sourced from the cool climate of the Triveneto region in Northeast Italy, comprised of Trentino, Veneto and Friuli. In these regions, the Alps help protect the region from the cold winds that come from the North, and the Mediterranean heat provides the perfect climate for ripening. After harvesting, the grapes are quickly transported and softly pressed to ensure maximum freshness.

Vinification

The fruit was harvested using state of the art machine harvesters that selectively separate out any non grape material resulting in very clean fruit delivered to the winery. Fruit parcels were assessed and those selected for 13 Celsius were fermented in small format stainless steel tanks. Minimal handling and interference retained purity of fruit through to fermentation. Cooler ferments resulted in crisp, fresh wines with intense varietal characters.

Full and complex, this wine has hints of freshly picked pears, lemons, and ripe pineapple. This 13 Celsius Pinot Grigio pairs precisely well with fresh seafood, sauced pastas or as an aperitif.
