Vinification of the Lis Neris Pinot Grigio Gris Isonzo

The basis for the powerful Pinot Grigio Gris Isonzo from Friuli-Venezia Giulia are grapes from the Pinot Grigio grape variety. In Friuli-Venezia Giulia, the vines that produce the grapes for this wine grow on limestone soils. The Pinot Grigio Gris Isonzo is an Old World wine in the best sense of the word, as this Italian wine exudes an extraordinary European charm that clearly underlines the success of wines from the Old World. After being harvested by hand, the grapes are quickly taken to the press house. Here they are sorted and carefully crushed. Fermentation then takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. Fermentation is followed by maturation on the fine lees for several months before the wine is finally bottled.
