Villa Russiz Pinot Grigio 2018
£24.50
This Pinot Grigio is created by Villa Russiz winery located in prestigious Collio area of Friuli. The white wine is straw-yellow colour, fine and elegant, fruity and complex. The nose expresses a wide array of fruity and flowery aromas: peach, pear, wild flowers. Pairing suggestions: suitable to accompany starters, buffets and fish or vegetable pasta or rice dishes.
Vinification: when fully ripe, the grapes are hand-picked in the coolest hours of the morning. They quickly reach the cellar, where the whole grapes are lightly pressed. The free-run must produced is first decanted, then collected in temperature-controlled fermentation tanks. The wine remains on its fine lees for at least 6 months and is then bottled 8 months after harvesting.

Friuli-Venezia Giulia – Villa Russiz
Villa Russiz was founded on 15 February 1868 with the marriage of Elvine Ritter von Zahony to Theodor de La Tour. Elvine’s dowry, Villa Russiz, turns out to be an area which is still particularly conducive to the cultivation of vines and for producing wines of an exceptional quality.
The wines are part of the Collio controlled nomination of origin: an elegant Sauvignon de La Tour; a Gräfin de La Tour, a refined chardonnay; a Graf de La Tour, a velvety merlot and the Défi de La Tour Cabernet Sauvignon. Les Enfants, the only non-doc exception is a blend of grapes with a name that recalls the estate’s historical commitment within the social sector. In terms of taste, Les Enfants evokes the most characteristic nuances of the Collio territory thanks to its Pinot Banco and Pinot Grigio grapes, and a small percentages of Ribolla and Sauvignon are added to complete its harmony and freshness.
