Dea del Mare Pinot Grigio Terre Siciliane IGP 2022

Straw yellow in colour this wine has an intense bouquet of tropical and citrus fruits. On the palate it is medium-bodied and perfectly balanced, supple and refreshing.

Pinot Grigio has been recently introduced to Sicily, producing a very interesting and unique style of this popular grape variety. The grapes are selected from north facing vineyards in the Trapani province. The microclimate offers the perfect conditions to ripen the grapes. The Pinot Grigio grapes are carefully picked by hand in mid-August, when the grapes are very crisp and have very good acidity.

The grapes are destemmed and very gently pressed in a pneumatic press. Prior to fermentation the juice is chilled to allow a natural separation of sediment and juice. After racking, selected yeasts are added to initiate the alcoholic fermentation. Fermentation takes place in temperature controlled conditions of 18°C in stainless steel tanks for approximately 10-15 days.
