MIRABELLO PINOT GRIGIO ROSÉ, IGT PROVINCIA DI PAVIA

Description VITICULTURE Produced from grapes grown in the Pavia region of northwest Italy. The ripest grapes were selected from mature hillside vineyards and hand harvested in early September. WINEMAKING The extra ripeness allows the dark-skinned Pinot Grigio grapes develop a pink tinge which is further enhanced by the addition of a small proportion of Pinot Noir grapes from the same vineyards. The grapes were harvested at optimum ripeness together, and the skins left in contact with the juice for 12 hours at low temperature before gentle pressing. After a slow, cool fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks the wine was bottled young to preserve freshness and aromas. OAK TREATMENT None. TASTING NOTE Pale coral pink – strawberry and bramble aromas lead onto a delicate, yet juicy palate with red berry characters. Slight creaminess leads to a crisp dry finish. FOOD MATCHING Serve chilled as an aperitif or to accompany salads, cold meats such as salami or smoked chicken, or seafood dishes.
