ABOUT THIS WINE
Giulio Straccali founded his winery in 1925, initially establishing his reputation as a pioneer in Tuscany. Over the decades, the estate expanded its vision to showcase classic Italian varietals from premier regions, including Pinot Grigio from the Provincia di Pavia IGT in Lombardy. This northern Italian region benefits from a cool climate and gravelly, mineral-rich soils near the Po River, which help preserve the grape's natural acidity and fresh fruit character.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness to balance acidity and sugar. Fermentation takes place entirely in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve the fresh, primary fruit aromas of the Pinot Grigio grape. The wine does not undergo malolactic fermentation or oak aging, maintaining its crisp, clean profile before being filtered and bottled early for immediate enjoyment.
