Pinot Grigio Borgo Dei Vassalli

Borgo dei Vassalli originates from the evocative landscapes of Friuli Venezia Giulia, where the Isonzo River flows through lands rich in history, nature, and winemaking. It is precisely from this unique environment, filled with summer colors, intense aromas, and authentic flavors, that wines are born, designed to be youthful, fresh, and pleasantly accessible, without sacrificing quality and identity. The vineyards extend within the prestigious Friuli Isonzo DOC, in a privileged geographical position, at the same latitude as renowned winemaking areas such as Burgundy, Cognac, and Oregon. Here, the Mediterranean microclimate meets typically northern climates, creating ideal conditions for viticulture. The soils, shaped over time by the constant changes of the Isonzo River, are gravelly, highly permeable, and well-aerated: characteristics that make cultivation challenging but allow the vines to fully express their qualities. These conditions give rise to a pronounced minerality in the wines, accompanied by a pleasant savory note, also due to the proximity of the sea. The climate is characterized by constant ventilation, with cool easterly winds mitigated by the sea, and significant temperature variations between day and night. This natural balance favors optimal grape ripening, resulting in rich, aromatic, and perfectly balanced wines. Borgo dei Vassalli wines thus represent the authentic expression of a unique terroir, combining freshness, elegance, and extraordinary drinkability.

Pinot Grigio DOC Friuli Isonzo is obtained from grapes harvested at full ripeness and processed quickly to preserve their freshness and aromas. Vinification involves immediate destemming and soft pressing to avoid extracting color from the skins. The must is cooled to 15°C, decanted overnight, and then fermented with selected yeasts at a controlled temperature of 18°C ​​for approximately 10 days. Aged in stainless steel, maintaining the integrity and aromatic finesse.

On the nose, it presents an intense bouquet with elegant notes of acacia flowers. On the palate, it is dry, delicate, and harmonious, with a pleasant, slightly bitter finish. It pairs perfectly with prosciutto, fresh cheeses, and light pasta dishes.
