Ca' Montini Pinot Grigio Terre Di Valfredda 2023

Serious Pinot Grigio by Riccardo Cotarella, one of the most influential wine personalities in the world. Ca’ Montini presents a premium Pinot Grigio DOC picked by hand from the single vineyard plot in Trentino. This is the only wine produced by Ca’Montini, truly showcasing the quality and winemaking history of Trentino. The 2022 release has beautiful aroma’s of white peach, green pear, a hint of quartz and some peel citrus peel on the nose. On the palate there's fresh crunchy acidity with lovely white peach notes, green pear and peach blossoms. Saline minerality lingers on the pallet adding a spark of interest. Who knew Pinot Grigio could be this good.

The Ca’Montini Pinot Grigio comes from a single vineyard called “Terre di Valfredda”, (meaning cold valley) in Ala, Trentino. The traditional Pergola trellising system is used predominantly with white grapes to protect the grapes from too much sun and possible sunburn and promote airflow through the canopy to prevent disease pressure and create a cooling effect. Once the fruit arrives in the winery all bunches are hand sorted, chilled down and gently whole bunch pressed to tank. All juice is fermented using indigenous yeast in stainless steel tank and does not go through malolactic fermentation to retain freshness and purity of fruit.
