Eugenio Collavini - Spumante "Il Grigio" NV

Sparkling Wine from Friuli, Italy

$53.00

Size: 750 ml

ABV: 11.5%

Grape: Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio
Il Grigio, our first sparkling wine which dates back to 1973, was probably the first Martinotti Method product in the history of winemaking in Friuli. Pinot Grigio and Chardonnay grapes, six months’ maturation on the lees and at least another three in the bottle give our Il Grigio a rare finesse.

Profile:

Pale, star-bright straw shot through with greenish highlights. Persistent mousse with steady streams of tiny bubbles

Fresh, fragrant golden delicious apples, pears and warm crusty bread usher in a harmoniously rounded

Faintly aromatic palate with a hint of citrus and very long length

Food Pairing: A classic aperitif that can also partner fish or cold cuts and is outstanding with vegetable veloutés as well as oven-baked fish of all kinds

What’s In It: 80% Chardonnay; 20% Pinot Grigio

How It Was Made:

Vinification is traditional. Fermentation off the skins follows very

soft crushing of the grapes before refermentation at 14 °C takes

place in vertical pressure tanks in spring. The wine remains on

the lees for five to six months.

The extended yeast autolysis of this Martinotti method is Grigio

Spumante’s seal of quality.
