Pinot Grigio DOC 2024 from the Girlan winery has a delicate scent of green apples, citrus fruits and a hint of white flowers. The color is pale straw yellow with greenish reflections. The taste of this wine is dry, fresh and lively, with a well-balanced acidity and a pleasant minerality.    

Pinot Grigio is grown on the hillside vineyards of Girlan at an altitudes ranging from 450 to 500 m above sea level in well aired vineyards. The area in which they are grown is rich in minerals, the result of ice age sedimentation.

Cantina Girlan was founded in 1923 in an ancient farmstead from the 16th century. Back then 24 winegrowers laid the foundation stones of what was later to become the winery we see today. The walls, steeped in ancient tradition, and the labyrinthine corridors of the cellar harbour the secrets of state-of-the-art winemaking technology and hold the ideal conditions for ageing our wines.

Today, about 200 greatly committed and motivated winegrowers and their families farm an area covering about 230 hectares of vineyards in the best production areas of Oltradige and Bassa Atesina. Our enologist, Gerhard Kofler, keeps in close personal contact with the winegrowers and provides his professional advice during the growing season. This beneficial exchange of expertise sets the foundations for producing highest quality wines. We pursue the following main objectives: we seek, on one hand, to showcase and promote the historic local grape varieties and on the other, to create impressive characterful wines using international grape varieties yet keeping them closely connected to the land. This is all achieved while respecting nature's flow and rhythms.

Pairing Suggestions: A nice accompaniment for asparagus, fish and delicate meats.

Maturation: Fermentation in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature and aging on the lees in stainless steel tanks.
