Colpasso
Pinot Grigio
Terre Siciliane IGP
Around the Trapani area of western Sicily we have found some great sites for Pinot Grigio – yes, Pinot Grigio!
100% Pinot Grigio
The grapes are carefully picked by hand in mid-August, when they have the perfect balance of acidity.
The grapes are destemmed and very gently pressed in a pneumatic press. Prior to fermentation the juice is chilled to allow a natural separation of sediment and juice. After racking, selected yeasts are added to initiate the alcoholic fermentation. Fermentation takes place in temperature controlled conditions of 18°C in stainless steel tanks for approximately 10-15 days.
Straw yellow in colour. Colpasso Pinot Grigio has an intense bouquet of tropical and citrus fruits. On the palate it is medium-bodied and perfectly balanced, supple and refreshing. This is a versatile wine, pairing well with a great variety of dishes, or enjoyed on its own as an aperitif.
