THE WINE

The Pinot Bianco wine of the Jerman winery comes from 100% Pinot Bianco grapes grown in the vineyards owned by the winery. We are in Dolegna del Collio in the province of Gorizia. Here the land is called “ponca”; it is a rocky substrate composed of stratified marl and sandstone.

The Jerman winery was the first in Friuli to use the Stelvin screw cap model of the French company Pechiney: the winery chose this very technical closure to keep the fragrance and organoleptic qualities of the wine intact.

THE WINEMAKING

The harvest occurs in the first days of September, and only the selected grapes are taken to the cellar for winemaking. After the soft pressing, the wine ferments in steel tanks at a controlled temperature. The ageing on the lees also occurs in the same steel tanks and lasts about six months. After blending and bottling, the wine rests in the cellar for a few more months before being placed on the market.

THE TASTING

Straw yellow with bright and golden hues; the aroma is pleasantly fruity with hints of summer fruit where melon prevails. This Pinot Bianco is dry and soft on the palate, elegant, with a beautiful correspondence between the aromas and the flavour and very long persistence.

FOOD PAIRINGS

It goes well with fish but also with white meats. Try it with seafood risotto.
