Description
The Veneto region is ideally suited for the Pinot Grigio grape, where the particular composition of the hilly soil, the exposition to sun, the frequent rains and the constantly mild temperature between April and October combine to provide the best conditions. The grapes for Tiamo Pinot Grigio are sourced from a 35 acre, certified organic vineyard in this region, near the town of San Polo di Pave, in the heart of the fertile Treviso countryside. Pinot Grigio is a mutated clone of Pinot Noir whose skin, instead of a red color, has a greyish hue - thus the name Grigio, Italian for grey. Originally from France, where it is known as Pinot Gris, the grape was taken to Italy where it thrives in the hillside vineyards of the Veneto region of Northeast Italy, producing a crisp, light, dry wine with pronounced fruity and floral aromas and flavors. After gentle pressing of the grapes and clarification of the must, primary fermentation takes place in temperature controlled stainless steel vats at 16 degrees C (60 degrees F) for 15 days. After fermentation is complete, the wine is stored at 17 - 18 degrees C (63 degrees F) until bottling. Tiamo Pinot Grigio has fresh rich aromas of apples and pears with hints of citrus that fade into a floral bouquet and on the palate it is bright and fresh with wonderful fruit flavors.
