Cesconi Pinot Grigio from Trentino, Italy, is a captivating still white wine crafted dry. This aromatic and intense expression of Pinot Grigio undergoes a unique vinification, with 12 hours of skin maceration, followed by fermentation and nine months of ageing in both stainless steel and old oak casks on fine lees, enhancing its complexity. It opens with intense notes of pear, white peach, and zesty citrus. The palate is round and rich, offering complex layers of fruit and savoury characters, culminating in a long, mineral finish. This versatile wine pairs beautifully with lean fish, shellfish, poultry, or various appetizers.
75.0CL , 13.0% ABV
Vinification
Fruit was macerated on the skins for 12 hours after picking and was then pressed. The must was divided, with 60% going into stainless-steel vats and 40% into 3000 litre old oak casks. These different batches were then fermented at temperatures between 18-20°C. The wine was subsequently aged in oak for nine months on fine lees. The use of large casks, combined with prolonged contact with the lees, added complexity to the wine while still preserving its original varietal aromatic qualities.
Flavour profile
This Pinot Grigio offers an aromatic yet intense profile, opening with vibrant notes of pear, white peach, and zesty citrus. Its palate is round and rich, revealing complex layers of fruit and savoury characters that lead to a long, mineral finish.
