Allegrini Corte Giara Pinot Grigio 2017 delle Venezie D.O.C

Corte Giara is an innovative project, started in 1989 by the Allegrini family and a selected group of grape growers in Valpolicella, the renowned winemaking district in Veneto, in north-eastern Italy.

Corte Giara's philosophy is to deliver high value wines, made for everyday drinking, with a modern and stylish appeal, that are true to their roots, as well as eclectic.

2017 has been a strange vintage, with media reports contradicting the reality on the ground in our wine growing areas. Unlike in other areas of Italy, the vintage developed with very satisfactory regularity.

Our vineyards completely escaped frost and hailstorms, and while rainfall was lower than average, it was still within the norm.
The dry and breezy climate, with wide variations in day-night temperatures in the final few weeks, enabled the grapes to fully express their varietal aromas in addition to ensuring their excellent health.

Harvest carried out in late August. Soft pressing of the whole grapes, with fermentation in temperature controlled stainless steel thanks. Aged 4 months in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, 2 months of bottle ageing. Winery Notes
