ALPHA ZETA PINOT GRIGIO 2006

Made by "flying winemaker" Matt Thompson, this wine proves what can be achieved with Pinot Grigio in Verona if yields are contained and the winemaking is competent. The wine has a scented, spicy nose along with food concentrated green fruit on the palate. A quality Pinot Grigio at this price level.

VINEYARD
The hills outside Verona. Several vineyards were selected in excellent sites where the growers had reduced the crop quite significantly.

GRAPE VARIETIES
100% Pinot Grigio

VINIFICATION
The grapes were hand harvested, de-stemmed and crushed and pumped to the press with no sulphur addition. The juice was chilled immediately and naturally settled. Cultured yeasts were added to initiate fermentation, which took place at 12-14 degrees celsius in order to retain fruit flavours.

TASTING NOTE
This wine has a purity of fruit rare in a Pinot Grigio from the Veneto. It has a scented, spicy character on the nose, good weight and breadth on the palate and good acid on the finish, which is surprisingly long.

Per Bottle £5.99
