Estate vineyards, in the southern hills of Montalcino.
Altitude: 300 meters above sea level.
Position: Hillside.
SOIL TYPE
Yellowish brown, clay topsoil, slightly calcareous.

PRODUCTION TECHNIQUE
Selective grape harvest. The temperature-controlled fermentation (15-18°C)
of the free-run juice is followed by storage at low temperature, which leaves a small
and natural effervescence. A few months after the harvest, before the year ends,
bottling takes place.

Bouquet: very fresh and fruity with pear, banana, peach, anise and honey notes.
Taste: rich, full, round and very persistent.
WINEMAKER’S NOTES
This 100% Pinot Grigio belongs to Castello Banfi estate-bottled single-varietals range.
Thanks to the Montalcino microclimate our Tuscan Pinot Grigio adds to the typical
aromas of this variety an unusual body, flavour and balance.
FOOD PAIRINGS
Excellent as aperitif. It accompanies well light dishes and fish in general. “Summer wine”.
