Product notes
The KRIS winemakers take full advantage of the “delle Venezie” designation by marrying the best fruit from the appellation’s three permitted regions to yield a Pinot Grigio with an unusually expressive flavor profile. Veneto fruit provides the delicate floral notes and the classic almond finish so typical of this region. Grapes sourced from the southwest-facing slopes of the village of Montagna in Alto Adige receive ample sun and contribute ripe yet fresh citrus and pear fruit. The Mulinat estate in Friuli, where the soils are gravelly and well drained produce low-yielding fruit that helps to intensify flavour. The final blend shows depth of flavor in a bold, Northern Italian style.
Production notes
Made entirely from Pinot Grigio grown in the Veneto regions of northeast Italy in a mixture of silt and clay soils, this wine is fermented in stainless steel to preserve its wholesome freshness and fruitiness. Fermented for 6 - 10 days at 16 - 20 degrees Celsius.
Tasting notes
With enticing aromas of acacia flowers, lime, tangerine and hints of apricots and almonds, KRIS Pinot Grigio is bold but clean and refreshing on the palate, and offers a long finish tinged with orange blossom and honey.
