WINE DESCRIPTION

Collegiata Pinot Grigio is a simple, unoaked white wine hailing from the Terre Siciliane appellation on the volcanic island of Sicily. This wine is shows the lighter, fresher façade of Pinot Grigio. The vineyard are situated on the northeast facing slopes at high elevation, which has a cooling effect, helping to retard ripening and retain acidity in the grapes. After harvest, the grapes are immediately crushed and cold fermented in stainless steel tanks to capture their freshness. The wine is bottled shortly after the fermentation and released ready to be enjoyed in its youth.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

Collegiata Pinot Grigio displays a pale straw color fading to a water-white rim.The nose is delicate and straightforward, offering fresh citrus fruits such as lemon and lime, accompanied by subtle floral notes. On the palate, this wine showcases a vibrant acidity that brings a lively and zesty character. It presents flavors of pear and green apple, providing a lean texture and a refreshing taste profile. The finish is clean and crisp, culminating in a brief, chiselled and citrus-led finale.
