THE WINE

The Pinot Grigio of the Lis Neris winery comes from Pinot Grigio grapes grown in the owned vineyards located between the municipalities of San Lorenzo, Corona and Romans in the province of Gorizia; we are on a plateau where the soil is mainly gravelly and calcareous, and these vines, in particular, have an average age of fifteen years. It is also essential to know that the Lis Neris winery raises its vineyards following integrated pest management protocol without using chemical herbicides.

THE WINEMAKING

The harvest is strictly manual and only occurs when the grapes are perfectly ripe. The harvested grapes are carefully selected, and only the best bunches are taken to the cellar for winemaking. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks; the wine then matures in the same steel tanks, on the lees for about eight months with frequent bâtonnage. After bottling, the wine rests in the cellar for a few more months before being placed on the market.

THE TASTING

Light straw yellow. The aroma is pleasantly fruity with notes of white-fleshed fruit alternating with citrus scents and soft puffs of tropical fruit to finish with spicy hints. Fresh and savoury on the palate, this Pinot Grigio from the Lis Neris winery is well balanced, with a good correspondence between aromas and flavours and a good persistence.

FOOD PAIRINGS

Suitable as an aperitif, it goes well with fish, even raw. Try it with salmon tartar and sushi.
