Fattori Valparadiso Pinot Grigio IGT 2008

Fattori Valparadiso Pinot Grigio IGT 2008

The fruit for this Pinot Grigio is sourced from three sites in the volcanic hills around the Fattori winery in Ronco. The vines average 15 years of age and are trellised on guyot at around 250m above sea-level.

Pale yellow in hue with green flashes. Intense, clean, vibrant nose of apple, grapefruit and pear with hints of spice, herbs, marzipan, estery banana aromas and elderflower cordial.

There is an intitial crisp attack of pear and citrus fruits on the palate slowly subsiding to show hints of spice, almond paste, herbs, minerals and fennel with some estery banana and pineapple characters.

Surprisingly weighty in the mouth with plenty of texture and mouthfeel. Good drive and showing a racy, cleansing acidity the wine finishes crisply and invites another glass. A great food style.
