Mezzacorona Terre del Noce Pinot Grigio Rosé 2023
Mezzacorona’s high-altitude vineyards have here produced a superior example of Pinot Grigio Rosé. Jam-packed with the ripe strawberries and raspberry fruit you would expect from this variety, but with far more intensity and structure than the norm. The finish is long, lingering and clean, with a fine acidity.
Situated at least 200m above sea level and with a mild climate, the vineyards of the lower Adige valley are well suited to the production of crisp, medium-bodied wines. The grapes were harvested by hand.
The grapes were fully destemmed and then gently crushed, before being cooled and undergoing several hours’ cold maceration at around 6°C. Following this, alcoholic fermentation was carried out in tank at 15-18°C and when complete the wine then spent a short period ageing on its lees.
