Il Pino by Torre di Giano is an elegant cuvée made from Vermentino, Grechetto, and Trebbiano, sourced from vineyards surrounding a prominent pine tree. The grapes are gently pressed and briefly subjected to cryomaceration to preserve their fruitiness and freshness. This wine gains its structure from 30% of the batch aging for three months in barrique barrels on fine lees, while the remainder matures in stainless steel tanks. Since the 1970s, Il Pino has been one of Italy’s pioneering white wines to incorporate oak. Depending on the vintage, it undergoes one to two years of bottle aging. The wine features a profile of lemon, fragrant white fruits, spice, and salty minerality, delighting both the nose and palate.
