2018 Pinot Bianco DOC Collio, Ferruccio Sgubin

The Simple Wine Verified independent store

→

A crisp, clean Italian white wine from Collio in Friuli, made from Pinot Bianco. Fresh pear, apple, light citrus, and a mineral finish make it refreshing, balanced, and easy to pai r with food. This is a great choice for Pinot Grigio drinkers who want something more polished, or for anyone looking for a bright Italian white to serve with seafood, salads, white meats, risotto, fresh cheeses, and simple weeknight dinners. The grapes are selected before harvest based on sensory analysis, with the goal of reaching full maturity and ideal concentration. The wine then matures partly in small oak barrels and partly in stainless steel tanks. It remains on the lees until spring, adding texture while preserving the freshness and typical character of Pinot Bianco. Collio DOC is located in the far northeast of Italy, near Slovenia, Austria, and the Julian Alps. This borderland is known for its hillside vineyards, southern exposures, and long history of viticulture dating back to pre-Roman times. The area is especially respected for white wines with freshness, minerality, and depth. This bottle has been aged at the estate before release. We taste these wines regularly to monitor quality, but we recommend opening the bottle within 4 to 5 days of arrival for the best experience. Please do not purchase if the age and style of this wine do not suit your preferences. Show more
