Nestled near Venice in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Tuo Pinot Grigio benefits from a unique microclimate shaped by the Dolomite Mountains and the Adriatic Sea, creating significant temperature variations that enhance aromatic complexity, freshness, and salinity. The limestone-rich soils provide essential micronutrients, fostering natural vineyard health under eco-friendly biodiversity principles, with manual harvesting in early September. A dual-harvest approach, similar to practices in the Loire and Germany, ensures both vibrant acidity and evolved aromas. Pre-fermentation maceration on the greyish-pink skins gently extracts color and aromatics, lending a subtle amber hue. Fermentation occurs at controlled temperatures to balance fruit and savory notes. The wine matures in steel tanks on fine lees for at least six months with occasional stirring. Bottled dry in early spring, Tuo’s sulphite levels are exceptionally low. Tasting notes reveal bright floral and just ripening tree fruit characteristics bolstered by refreshing acidity and a distinct salinity. Food pairing suggestions include light seafood dishes, fresh salads, delicate white meats, and creamy cheeses.
