Delle Venezie D.O.C.
FRUIT- FORWARD • BRIGHT • CITRUS
13 Celsius® Pinot Grigio is a fruit-forward, refreshing wine that
brightens any meal. When the bottle is chilled to 13° Celsius,
the ideal temperature to enjoy this wine, the label changes to blue,
providing impeccable taste in every glass.
VITICULTURE
Fruit for 13 Celsius Pinot Grigio was sourced
from the cool climate of the Triveneto region in
Northeast Italy, comprised of Trentino, Veneto
and Friuli. In these regions, the Alps help protect
the region from the cold winds that come from
the North, and the Mediterranean heat provides
the perfect climate for ripening. After harvesting,
the grapes are quickly transported and softly
pressed to ensure maximum freshness.
VINIFICATION
The fruit was harvested using state of the art machine harvesters that selectively
separate out any non grape material resulting in very clean fruit delivered to the
winery. Fruit parcels were assessed and those selected for 13 Celsius were
fermented in small format stainless steel tanks. Minimal handling and interference
retained purity of fruit through to fermentation. Cooler ferments resulted in crisp,
fresh wines with intense varietal characters.
TASTING NOTES
Full and complex, this wine has hints of freshly picked pears, lemons, and ripe
pineapple. This 13 Celsius Pinot Grigio pairs precisely well with fresh seafood,
sauced pastas or as an aperitif.
