Country: Italy Region: The Central Hills of Veneto Grape: Pinot Grigio
The Veneto is a region located in the Northeast of the Italian Peninsula, and is one of its leading wine producers. Vendi Pinot Grigio is produced in the Central Hills of the Veneto, a zone made up mostly of low hills and gravelly plains.
The grapes are picked in early September in the early morning to retain freshness and varietal characteristics. They are immediately soft pressed. Fermentation takes place at controlled temperatures in stainless steel tanks, and the fruit is kept in those temperature-regulated tanks until late February when this light straw yellow wine with shades of green is bottled.
Uncorking releases a delicate fruity bouquet with notes of field flowers, apples and pears. Light bodied, dry and elegant, this wine presents you with a soft texture and pleasingly slight bitter finish.
It is intended to be enjoyed right now. Best served chilled as an aperitif or with canapés, or your favorite light pasta dish recipes. Also is outstanding when served with grilled fish and sauteed vegetables.
Vendi Pinot Grigio:
PINOT GRIGIO GRAPES — Also identified as Pinot Gris and Rulander, this white grape with a hint of lavender is capable of producing superior rich, complex wines. Its spiciness is seldom encountered in other varieties. This grape is responsible for many grand flavored, sweet fortified wines produced throughout the world with hues from white to yellow to slightly pink in color. The skin of this grape is more hued than most other whites, but be assured the grape is a true white. It originated in France as a mutation of Pinot Noir.
