Tasting notes
Persistent mousse with steady streams of tiny bubbles. Pale, star-bright straw shot through with greenish highlights. Fresh, fragrant golden delicious apples, pears and warm crusty bread on the nose. On the palate: harmoniously rounded and faintly aromatic, with a hint of citrus and very long length.
Vinification
Traditional vinification. Very soft crushing of the grapes is followed by fermentation off the skins. Refermentation takes place in spring at 14 °C in vertical pressure tanks.
Ageing
Five to six months on the lees. The extended yeast autolysis of the Martinotti method is Il Grigio's seal of quality.
Food pairing
A classic aperitif that also partners fish or cold cuts, and is outstanding with vegetable veloutes and oven-baked fish of all kinds. Perfect with finger foods. Serving temperature: 8 °C.
