Pinot Grigio Calaj

For over 40 years, the Russolo Farm has been producing wines from the fantastic San Quirino terroir in western Upper Friuli, notably close to the Pordenone Dolomites. It all began in the late 19th century when Giovanni Russolo made his name as a winemaker in the Pordenone area. As the generations passed and the history of Italian winemaking began, the company took shape in 1974 when Iginio and his wife Sonia purchased San Quirino vineyards. Today, with the support of Antonella and Rino, the company faces new challenges. In a microclimate influenced by marked temperature variations, it produces elegant, distinctly aromatic, native regional wines with exceptional organoleptic clarity and harmonious flavors.

The Ronco Calaj Pinot Grigio DOC comes from vineyards located in San Quirino, on alluvial soils of calcareous-dolomitic origin. Vinification takes place in stainless steel at a controlled temperature to preserve freshness and aromatic integrity. It does not undergo malolactic fermentation, thus maintaining a lively acidity. The result is a well-structured, elegant wine with a strong territorial expression.

Straw yellow in color, the nose offers delicate aromas of white fruit and acacia flowers, with light fermentation notes when young. On the palate, it is balanced, with a pleasant freshness and a harmonious structure that leads to a long, persistent finish. Perfect with prosciutto, fresh cheeses, light soups, fish dishes, and white meats.
