Pizzini Nove Pinot Grigio 2024

The wine is a light blush colour and exudes pear, citrus, rose petal and watermelon aromas. The palate is well rounded and complex but has great freshness and minerality. The wine shows depth, refreshing acidity and good length, enjoy with a prawn and tomato pasta or antipasti.

The grapes for the wine have been selected from one of our cooler Pinot Grigio vineyards at Cheshunt which produces high-quality fruit with great acidity and aromatics. The fruit was machine harvested, crushed, de-stemmed and fermented on skins for nine days, the juice was pumped over the skins twice daily to impart character, and texture and extract subtle colour from the skins. After fermentation, the juice was drained and aged in neutral barrels for 6 months, with a little lees stirring to achieve a lovely balanced wine. A small portion of the wine was fermented in stainless steel and blended back in before bottling to add freshness and acidity.
