VALVIRGINIO

Pinot Grigio Toscana IGT

Latest addition to the range of our wines is obtained from the vinification of pink grapes of Pinot Grigio. With this method the grape must not remain in contact with the skins, which would otherwise have acquired their color rust. After a soft pressing of the grapes, the grape must is fermented for 15-20 days at 16° C. After fermentation, the wine is kept at a controlled temperature of 15-16° C in stainless steel tanks until bottling.

Dry white wine is straw yellow with light coppery hues; the aroma is clean and intense and the taste is dry and pleasant with a wide and varied bouquet, with special scents reminiscent of white flow-ers and ripe apple. Wine of great character and versatility. Excellent as an aperitif, ideal accompaniment to pasta dishes based an fish and shellfish, perfect with white meat or boiled fish.
