Region: Lombardy – the vines are near the Oltrepo Pavese DOC.
Viticulture: Organic Pinot Grigio on clay soils.
Vinification: 10 hours of skin contact before 10 months in stainless steel.
Tasting: The nose is broad and rich, very ripe, even bruised apple, pear, with some cinnamon spices, ginger, and some nuttiness. The palate is full-body, rich, round, and soft with fairly low acidity. The wine is dry but fruit-forward and the rich baked apple dominates the palate.
This bruised and spiced apple character, along with nuttiness, is indicative of a wine that is oxidative. Think apple tart or apple sauce rather than fresh green or yellow apple.
This richer white will pair well with the Samke Harra, the Shrimp, and some hot plates like tatar borek, fattet mozat where the creaminess will complement the yogourt.
