La Bella Vita Pinot Grigio

Country of Origin: Italy

Sourced from higher altitude vineyards - east of Verona and north, within the DOC of Arcole. The fruit is picked early in the morning to preserve natural acidity and freshness.

Tasting Note: Pale yellow green in colour with a fresh and expressive nose of white peach and green pear aromas with subtle floral highlights. The palate is pure and fresh with intense flavours of apple, citrus and white flower carried by a mineral acid backbone on an impressively long dry finish.

The current vintage will generally be regarded as a classic vintage throughout much of Europe, and Veneto was no exception. The vineyards began with excellent soil moisture levels and the vines responded well to ideal spring conditions before a very warm, dry summer slowed growth and limited yields. A warm, clear Autumn provided excellent ripening but crucially cool nights ensured the retention of naturally acidity. The wines are surprisingly fresh and aromatic with excellent depth of flavour.
