Castel del Lupo Pinot Grigio, 2019 (Organic)

SKU: UICL003 Category: White

Castel del Lupo's impressive new release was made especially for Boutinot from grapes grown on the south facing, chalky Ginestra vineyard. Like their Pinot Nero, this Pinot Grigio from the gentle hills of Oltrepo Pavese DOC, the "Tuscany of northern Italy", has subtlety, depth and character. It is a pure, gently aromatic style, crisp and lightly nutty, with fine citrus and peach fruit characters... with a nice savory, textural finish from four months of lees.

How it's made

Food Match​

The Pinot Grigio grapes are organically grown, harvested by hand and undergo a careful selection process. Alcoholic fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature of 63ºF (17ºC). The wine is then kept on fine lees for at least four months.

Ideal as an aperitif, excellent with summery appetizers and fish dishes.

Tasting Notes​

Subtle, delicately aromatic with a light floral nose with citrus and white peach notes. The palate has fresh stone fruit and lemony characters leading to a gentle, textured mid-palate and an attractively crisp, saline finish.
