THE WINE

The Pinot Grigio from the Ermacora winery comes from 100% Pinot Grigio grapes grown in the vineyards owned by the winery. We are in the hills of Ipplis in the heart of the Colli Orientali del Friuli DOC in Friuli Venezia Giulia. Explaining this area of Friuli is difficult, you have to come and visit it to discover a series of terraced hills, protected by the Julian Prealps which enjoy the breezes of the Adriatic Sea. A set of vines alternating with woods rich in biodiversity, in short, a true paradise.

The Ermacora winery defines their Pinot Grigio as the perfect wine for those who love the pop music of the Beatles… a floral and fruity wine, a bit hippy that enchants even those who don’t particularly love the world of wine. It arrived in Friuli in 1600 and, thanks to the climate and soil, the wine is always of high quality.

THE WINEMAKING

The harvest is manual. Once in the cellar, after destemming the grapes are softly pressed and left to ferment in steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 17/18 °C. The wine ages in steel tanks for at least six months. After blending and bottling, it rests for a few more months in the cellar before being placed on the market.

THE TASTING

Intense straw yellow; the aroma is elegant with pleasant floral scents that intertwine with fruity notes where Williams pear and yellow peach prevail, finishing with puffs of aromatic herbs. Soft and dry on the palate, well structured and velvety with a good correspondence between aromas and flavor. Persistent.

FOOD PAIRINGS

It goes well with fish and white meats but also with medium-hard cheeses. Try it with a mushroom risotto.
