The Pinot Grigio ‘Pipinot’ represents a unique interpretation of this grape variety from the Pinot family produced by the Friulian winery Scarbolo. As the name suggests, Pinot Grigio is a variety classified as having gray berries that likely originated in Burgundy from a genetic mutation of Pinot Nero. In Friuli, it has found one of its ideal areas, contributing to its success in the Italian market, a popularity that now places it among the most cultivated varieties at the national level. Although it is more often vinified in white, when left to macerate in contact with the skins, Pinot Grigio produces wines with a characteristic coppery color, as is the case with this label.
Scarbolo ‘Pipinot’ Pinot Grigio is a pure expression of the eponymous gray-berried grape grown in the Grave area. Following the harvest, the grapes undergo 24 hours of skin contact to extract the aromas and anthocyanin pigments contained in them, after which soft pressing is followed by the alcoholic fermentation of the must in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature. The subsequent maturation of 8 months takes place in the same type of wine containers and occurs on the fine lees with frequent batonnage.
Coral pink with orange reflections is the color of the Pinot Grigio ‘Pipinot’ from the Scarbolo winery. On the nose, fruity notes of raspberry and wild strawberry alternate with delicate citrus hints of lemon peel and bergamot, along with subtle floral aromas. Fresh, balanced, and smooth is the tasting experience, supported by a pleasant mineral vein that characterizes the finish with good persistence. This is a bottle that can be paired with fresh cheeses, fish appetizers, or fried vegetables.
