Venica & Venica Pinot Grigio Jesera

Jesera: means in Slovenian little lake and its the name of the major vineyard from where grapes are picked. This site is at the bottom of a
cool valley; the water that flows from the hills guarantees the vines are perfectly supported.

Grape Variety: 100% Pinot Grigio

Vineyards: Jesera, Cime, Bernizza

Alcohol: 13,5% - Total Acidity: 4,8 g/l - Serving Temperature: 10° - 12° C (50° F)

Vinification:
Pinot Grigio grapes, dark grape variety (violet), are lightly macerated and pressed under CO2 that prevent oxidations and maintain the pink/orange color of the juice. This is the reason you see the copper refection in wine.

Tasting notes:
the natural copper-colored extracted with maceration is the signature of this wine and its richness with reminiscent of pear Williams, banana, and Acacia flowers wrapped in a slight scent of fresh apricot. Intriguing taste with pleasant flavors of pear syrup and quince peels. Good acid/alcohol balance with a long fruity finish.

Suggestions with typical Furlan menus:
eggs and asparagus, gnocchi with pumpkin and ricotta, risotto with sclopit (wild herbs).
