Wine Description:
Bertani has made an indelible mark on Veneto winemaking, especially in Amarone production. Their rich history spans 150+ years, marked by innovation, tradition, and royal recognition. They cultivate Pinot Grigio in Venezia Giulia, where gravel subsoils with iron-rich clay nurture 10-15-year-old vines. Fermentation occurs in steel at a controlled 58°F–60°F, followed by four months of tank aging. The wine exudes aromas of golden delicious apples, ripe pear, and peach, boasting density and a balanced acidity-plushness interplay. Ideal with light starters, salads, fish pasta, risottos, and light meats, Bertani's Pinot Grigio reflects their unwavering commitment to quality. Read more

Wine Expert Note:

Bertani Velante Pinot Grigio is a delightful white wine that hails from the Veneto region of Italy. The classic characteristics of a Pinot Grigio with elegance and finesse we do have here. On the nose, Bertani Velante Pinot Grigio offers enticing aromas of ripe pear, green apple, and citrus zest. These vibrant fruit notes are complemented by delicate floral undertones, adding a touch of complexity to the bouquet. The palate is crisp and refreshing, with a medium body and a lively acidity that brings balance to the wine. Flavors of juicy white peach, lemon, and a hint of tropical fruit dance on the tongue, creating a harmonious and enjoyable tasting experience. Bertani Velante Pinot Grigio is best served chilled and makes for a perfect aperitif or a versatile companion to a variety of dishes. Its vibrant acidity and fruit-forward profile make it an excellent pairing with seafood, light pasta dishes, and fresh salads. Read more

Intensity
info
Wine body refers to the weight and texture of wine on the palate. In other words, it is the degree of body a wine has, ranging from light-bodied to full-bodied. Wines with higher body appear to have a thicker texture and can sometimes coat the palate.
Body
info
Wine acidity refers to the tartness of a wine, which gives a tingling sensation on the side of the tongue. A metallic-like sharp taste is also associated with high acidity. Sometimes a high level of sweetness, such as in luscious dessert wines, can disguise a high level of acidity. Acidity can range from soft to searing.
Acidity
info
Wine tannin gives wine its textural mouthfeel and astringency. Tannin is a natural compound found in grape skins, seeds, and stems. It contributes to the structure and helps to balance out the sweetness of the fruit. Tannins are usually discussed when it comes to red wines, even though some white and rosé wines with certain wine making techniques can also contain tannins.

Pla de Gates is a meticulously crafted blend by Anna Espelt, combining Lledoner Blanc and Roig (Grenache Blanc and Gris) from her esteemed Mas Marés vineyard. Drawing from her experience cultivating these varietals in warmer inland climates, Anna has uncovered their true brilliance when nurtured closer to the Mediterranean. The near-constant coastal winds yield smaller clusters, berries with thicker skins, and a vibrant acidity. Harvested by hand, Pla de Gates undergoes a night of cooling, partial destemming, and a brief maceration, followed by a prolonged, gentle pressing. This process captures the full aromatic and phenolic potential, resulting in a wine that reflects the essence of these two exceptional grape varieties.
