“WHITE WINE HEAVEN”
FRIULI GRAVE IS WHERE WHITE WINE DREAMS COME TRUE
Friuli Grave is a renowned wine appellation in northeastern Italy, often referred to as “White Wine Heaven” and known for its white varietals, primarily Pinot Grigio. The region takes its name from the gravelly, alluvial soils that characterize the area. The stony, limestone-rich soil originated in the mountains and has been deposited across the plains over the years. Friuli Grave’s unique terroir and temperature climate creates wines that are light and zesty, with floral and citrus-like aromas.
AROMAS & FLAVORS
Bright, clean, and refreshing are the defining qualities of this wine. Delicate notes of acacia flowers, florals, white peach, and lemons are brought to life by the wine’s crisp acidity, making it a crowd-pleaser for special occasions or any night of the week.
DELIZIOSO FOOD PAIRINGS
Pinot Grigio is perfect as an apéritif as well as paired with many types of cuisine. Our favorite pairings include bruschetta with smoked salmon, seafood salad, pan-seared scallops, oysters on the half shell, or seafood pasta entrées.
HOW IT’S MADE
Individual lots of hand-harvested grapes are gently pressed to minimize any color or harsh tannin extraction, then racked to stainless steel tanks for cold fermentation. This wine does not undergo malolactic fermentation, so it retains its bright flavors and crisp acidity.
