Vinification of the Pinot Grigio DOC from Ronco del Gelso

The vinification of Pinot Grigio DOC begins with the careful selection of the vines. The grapes grow in the sun-kissed vineyards of the region, where the soil is rich in minerals and well-draining. Here, the Pinot Grigio grapes thrive optimally and develop their full aromatic potential. After harvesting, which usually takes place in September, the grapes are swiftly transported to the winery. There, a gentle pressing of the whole grapes occurs to extract the precious juices.

Subsequently, the wine undergoes a controlled fermentation, which takes place at low temperatures to best preserve the aromas. Fermentation lasts several weeks, during which the yeasts develop complex flavors. After fermentation, the wine matures in stainless steel tanks to maintain its freshness. The long aging on the fine lees contributes to the wine’s smoothness and depth. Before bottling, the Pinot Grigio is carefully filtered to ensure the clear color and vibrant freshness.
