Harvest

Grapes harvested and destemmed between 6 and 13 September 2023.

Vinification | Aging

After harvesting, the grapes are macerated for about 4/8 hours at a temperature of 14°C in dedicated containers, protected from oxygen with innovative systems that recycle fermentation carbon dioxide, in order to minimize the use of antioxidants. Approximately 10% of the wine matures in large wooden barrels of 20/27 hectoliters and 5 hectoliters tonneaux, while the remaining portion is aged in stainless steel containers.

Bottling

The wine is blended and then bottled on the full moons of March and July 2024.

The vineyard and the vine

Jesera

Also known as Pinot Gris and originating from Alsace, it has then spread across the globe and is now considered an "international" grape variety. As the leading white still wine in terms of export volumes, Italy holds the world's largest production of Pinot Grigio in terms of vineyard hectares, primarily situated in the Triveneto region. Pinot Grigio likely originated from a genetic mutation of the esteemed Pinot Noir, resulting in a variation in berry color. Despite its widespread cultivation, few are aware that Pinot Grigio is a gray-skinned grape, meaning its berries have a gray-pink color tending toward violet. Thus, with a slight skin maceration, the resulting wine showcases delightful coppery hues.

The vineyard

The "Jesera" vineyard, from which our Pinot Grigio takes its name, is situated within the Collio DOC region.
