White Wine Pinot Grigio Col D’orcia 2024 Organic

Pinot Grigio Col d’Orcia is an organic white that challenges the common idea of the light Pinot Grigio, offering a decidedly more structured, warm and Mediterranean version typical of the Montalcino terroir.

Here is a brief description:

Organoleptic Profile

• Style: This is a white wine with good personality, benefiting from the sunny climate of southern Tuscany, being richer and less acidic than versions from northern Italy.

• Color: Intense and bright straw yellow.

• Nose: Broad bouquet ranging from yellow-fleshed fruit (peach and pear) to floral notes of acacia, with a light touch of herbs and honey on the finish.

• Taste: It is full and savory on the palate. It has an almost velvety texture, with a balanced freshness that makes it very pleasant and persistent.

Technical Characteristics

• Grapes: 100% Pinot Grigio.

• Certification: Made from organically grown grapes, a philosophy that Col d’Orcia rigorously applies to its entire estate.

• Vinification: Fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel to preserve the freshness of the primary aromas, with no steps in wood.

Recommended pairings

Its structure makes it suitable for the whole meal:

• Appetizers: Tuscan cured meats not too tasty or seafood crostini.

• First and Second Courses: Excellent with pici all’aglione, fish soups, white meats (chicken or rabbit) and grilled shellfish.

• Cheeses: Ideal with fresh pecorino or goat cheese.

Fun fact: Col d’Orcia is one of the few historic wineries in Montalcino to believe strongly in this grape variety, planting it as early as the 1980s to demonstrate the versatility of its soils.
