An iconic ‘Made in Italy’ wine in many parts of the world
Description
- Dry style
- Fresh pear
- Wild flowers
- Easy-drinking
Regarded as an iconic ‘Made in Italy’ wine in many parts of the world, Corte Giara’s Pinot Grigio shuns the stereotype of a light, easy-drinking wine to highlight a considerable and certainly not banal character. Notes of pear are accompanied by wildflowers and a subtle, delicate smoky nuance. The palate is dry, with a good grip and a satisfying, fine mouthfeel.
Vintage 2021 featured a severe delay in bud burst, caused by a drop in temperatures in April. Full budding was not see until the end of April. The vegetative development of the vine consequently moved forward by 15-20 days compared to last year. In mid-September, some providential rainfall was followed by a mini summer, which brought temperaures up to 34-35ºC and temperature variations of around 15ºC. The grapes obtained are vivid in colour, with crunchy berries and elevated sugar concentrations, The loose (non-compact) bunches are particularly suitable for drying and were a factor that characterised this particular garvest.
