Pierpaolo Pecorari and his family have been
organically farming in the hills of Micro Terrazzo,
in the far north east of Friuli for generations. With
near perfect soil the fortune to be situated in
between the Julien Alps and the Adriatic Sea,
together they make complex wines, extremely
pleasant to drink and great when pairing with
food.
Vinification: Grapes were harvested in the beginning of September. Soft pressing and slow fermentation at controlled temperatures in stainless steel. After fermentation is completed, the wine remains for 7-8 months on its lees with batonnages weekly.
Tasting Notes: Pierpaolo’s Pinot Grigio is a gift from the Mediterranean
climate of Friuli. Enticing creamy roasted
nut, ripe pear and apple aromas are tantalizing to
the nose. A superior, lush textured wine; dry, full-bodied, very fruity in flavor, with medium length.
Perfect with a meal, entertaining friends or late
night sipping with an admirer.
Pierpaolo’s Pinot Grigio is an excellent companion
to most creamy pasta sauces, hot New England
lobster with a side of steamers and some corn on
the cob, or simply a late night bowl of vegetable
soup.
