LATENTIA PINOT GRIGIO DOC FRIULI

Description

Grape: Pinot Grigio

Latentia Novantaceppi Pinot Grigio Doc Friuli is crafted with meticulous care to preserve the fresh and delicate characteristics of the Pinot Grigio grape. Here’s an overview of the winemaking process:

Harvesting: The grapes are handpicked at optimal ripeness to ensure they retain their vibrant acidity and fresh aromas.
Pressing: The grapes are gently pressed to extract the juice while minimizing contact with the skins, preserving the wine’s pale straw-yellow color.
Fermentation: The juice is fermented at controlled low temperatures in stainless steel tanks to enhance the wine’s fresh fruit flavors and crispness.
Aging: After fermentation, the wine is briefly aged on fine lees to add subtle complexity and a smooth texture while maintaining its bright, youthful character.
Bottling: The wine is filtered and bottled early to retain its fresh, aromatic qualities, ready for immediate enjoyment.

This versatile and refreshing Pinot Grigio pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes, including:

• Seafood: Grilled shrimp, seared scallops, or light fish dishes like sole or cod.
• Pasta: Creamy seafood pasta or light pasta dishes with olive oil, garlic, and herbs.
• Salads: Fresh garden salads with citrus vinaigrette or a classic Caprese salad.
• White Meats: Grilled chicken or turkey with light herbs and lemon accents.
• Cheese: Soft, mild cheeses such as mozzarella, ricotta, or young goat cheese.

Perfect as an aperitif, this wine also complements vegetarian dishes and light Mediterranean fare.
