Vinification of Lis Riserva Venezia Giulia from Lis Neris

This powerful white wine from Italy is made from the Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio and Sauvignon Blanc grape varieties. In Friuli-Venezia Giulia, the vines that produce the grapes for this wine grow on limestone soils. After manual harvesting, the grapes are brought to the winery as quickly as possible. There they are sorted and gently crushed. Fermentation then takes place in large wooden vats at controlled temperatures. After fermentation is complete, the powerful Lis Riserva Venezia Giulia is aged for another 12 months in 500 l oak barrels.
