Pinot Grigio Collio Miklus Draga

Boris’s tip: Wine is pink but not rose. Macerated pinot grigio has pink nuances because the skin is pink. Full body and fruits are present here. The color is very sexy.

UNIQUE, almost red wine, Natural/orange category, colour of red wine, very persistent, mineral, savory, very complex…..this wine requires a lot of experience, suitable for expert sommeliers.

Visual appearance: coppery colour, natural colour obtained of long maceration.

Olfactory and gustative features: the wine has a continuous evolution, complex fruity and floral bouquet, slightly aromatic with notes of dry hay, toasted almonds, licorice, red fruits, vanilla etc.. Intense, dry and full-bodied on the palate with a strong character, savory and mineral, long and very persistent.

Vinification: The grapes were selected and harvested manually in the end of September, destemmed, the must was then left on the skins for 14 days in conical oak vats without temperature control. In these days alcoholic fermentation started with indigenous yeasts and three times a day the skins were immersed in the must, punching down manually. After that it were soft pressed and the alcoholic fermentation continued and aged without temperature control in French tonnoux barrels for 2 years, always on the lees.
