Description

Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio

A Pinot Grigio crafted in the Alto Adige/Valdadige region of Northern Italy, which is known as premium wine country. Valleys are broad and the Adige’s floods keep the mineral rich, gravelly soil fertile. While the viticulture is more challenging, soil types and day-night temperature variations infuse the wines with fragrances and freshness.

Santa Margherita was the first company to vinify pink Pinot Grigio grapes as a white wine. In this process, the must does not remain in contact with the skins, from which it would otherwise take on the rusty color. Following a soft pressing, the must ferments for 10-15 days at 18 °C (64°). Once the fermentation is over, the wine is stored at a controlled temperature of 15 – 16 °C (59 – 61 °F) in stainless steel tanks until it is time to bottle.

TASTING NOTE

This dry white wine has a straw yellow color. Its clean, intense aroma and bone-dry taste (with an appealing flavor of Golden Delicious apples) make Santa Margherita’s Pinot Grigio a wine of great personality and versatility. A clean, lovely aperitif to start any food occasion. It goes wonderfully with fresh cheeses, seafood, pasta, and rice dishes, as well as white meats, sushi and soufflés
