Pinot Grigio Collio - Draga

The elegant Pinot Grigio Collio from the house of Draga comes into the glass with a bright golden yellow color. On the nose, this Draga white wine reveals all kinds of acacia and jasmine. As if that were not already impressive, further aromas such as almond, minerals and hay are added through maturation in stainless steel.

This wine tastes pleasantly dry. It was bottled with an exceptionally low residual sugar content. This is a true quality wine that clearly stands out from simpler qualities, and thus this Italian, despite all its dryness, delights with the finest balance. Aroma does not necessarily require residual sugar. On the palate, the texture of this well-balanced white wine presents itself as wonderfully silky and smooth. On the finish, this wine from the Friuli-Venezia Giulia wine-growing region finally captivates with a lovely length. Once again, nuances of jasmine and acacia appear. In the aftertaste, mineral notes from the sandstone- and clay-dominated soils join in.

Vinification of the Pinot Grigio Collio by Draga

The balanced Pinot Grigio Collio from Italy is a varietal wine made from the Pinot Grigio grape. In Friuli-Venezia Giulia, the vines that produce the grapes for this wine grow on clay and sandstone soils. After hand-picking, the grapes are brought to the press house as quickly as possible. There they are sorted and gently crushed. Fermentation then takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. After fermentation, the wine matures for several months on the fine lees before finally being bottled.
