Andrea di Pec Friuli-Venezia Giulia Pinot Grigio 2021

A creamy Pinot Grigio bursting with delicate fruit flavours
of citrus, fennel and pear with a refreshing finish.
Producer Note
Andrea di Pec was the nephew of Frederico d'Attems who was Chancellor of Gorizia in
1540. Andrea was renowned as a great teacher of viticulture, passing on his
knowledge to many winegrowers in the area. His estate was located on some of the
most prestigious agricultural land in Friuli and his impact on the region was such that
even though the property, over the centuries, was splintered and changed hands, the
name remained. It is still used today by the present owners, the Collavini family, who
have been involved with wine since 1896.
Vineyard
The vines are trained on double arched canes, providing the canopy with the optimum
amount of sunlight and shade for the grapes to mature. The vineyard soils are made
up of a combination of a red, clay soil which has a high iron content and gravel which
provides the vine with good drainage.
Winemaking
A short maceration took place on the skins prior to fermentation in stainless steel tanks
at low temperatures to preserve the fresh aromas and mineral characters in the wine.
After fermentation, the wine rested in tank and bottle for several months, prior to
release.
Tasting Note
A top quality Pinot Grigio, delivering delicate aromas of citrus fruit complemented by
hints of hay, fresh nuts and toasted almonds. A dry, well-balanced wine, with a hint of
nuttiness and spice on the palate with a precise finish.
