Vinification:
The grapes are harvested manually in early September and undergo a cold maceration for 24-48 hours to extract the finest aromas. After soft pressing, fermentation is carried out at controlled temperatures in stainless steel tanks. The wine is then left to mature on its lees in steel tanks, adding complexity and enhancing its flavor profile.
Sensory Description:
Upon pouring, the 2022 Le Monde Pinot Grigio immediately catches the eye with its striking amber yellow hue, accented by delicate copper reflections that shimmer in the glass. On the nose, the wine opens gently, revealing a beautifully layered bouquet of floral aromas. White blossoms lead the way, their delicate fragrance intertwined with subtle hints of citrus, creating an aromatic profile that is both fresh and refined.
As the wine hits the palate, it delivers a burst of lively freshness, supported by a vibrant acidity that brings out its agile structure. The flavors are clean and precise, dominated by notes of ripe pear and crisp apple, all carried by a delicate minerality that mirrors the wine’s clay-calcareous origins. The texture is light yet persistent, maintaining an elegant balance throughout. The finish is long and refreshing, leaving a lasting impression of white fruit and a faint trace of salinity, a subtle nod to its unique terroir.
