The grapes for this wine are sourced from select vineyards in the Veneto region of Italy, known for its ideal growing conditions for Pinot Grigio. The vineyards are situated on gentle slopes with well-draining soils, allowing the grapes to ripen slowly and develop complex flavors.

The resulting wine is crisp and lively, with notes of citrus and green apple, making it a perfect pairing for light dishes or enjoyed on its own.
