From the winemaker – “The Pinot Grigio vineyards of BARONE FINI are 25 to 30 years old. Grape picking is manual; all blemished clusters are discarded. Selected grapes are taken to the excellent, state-of-the-art cooperative winery, where they are put through soft, cold crushing. Juice is then divided into several units, each undergoing a different temperature controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks. The result, in effect, is several distinct wines in progress. After reaching equilibrium, juice sections are skillfully blended by our winemakers into the final BARONE FINI Pinot Grigio.
Soft, round fruit fills the mouth with ripe, juicy flavors. A long finish glides into flavors of ripe apples and lichee nuts.”
Enjoy alone, as an apéritif, or with shellfish, fowl and light meals that include vegetarian dishes.
