Villa Job Venezia Giulia Piantagrane Bianco 2022 750ml

Organic. 100% Pinot Grigio. Drawn from the single-vineyard plot ‘Piantagrane,’ 18 year-old vines. Fermented on skins for 2-3 days in open-top, neutral barrels; élevage in a mix of concrete tanks, neutral barriques, and botti. Unfined, unfiltered, 30mg/l SO2 added before bottling. Vignaioli Alessandro and Lavinia gave this vineyard the name piantagrane, which means ‘troublemaker,’ as they had many friends and colleagues in the region tell them that Pinot Grigio was wrong for their soils, wrong for the region, wrong for Friuli in general—but they love the variety and believe it expresses well enough on their different microclimates that this is one of two separate macerated bottlings they do of the grape. Notes of orange peel, fresh green herbs, and tropical fruit, with a light and zesty palate.
