GRISòS

“It is assumed that the name Grisi comes from the Greek noun χρυσός (Krysòs) “Gold”, which then changed in the Byzantine period to grysòs, with the meaning attributed to “Golden Land”, in reference to the wealth and fertility of its lands, particularly suited to agriculture and favoured by a temperate climate.”

Here our Pinot Noir is born, in the estate of Grassuri Airoldi, characterized by great temperature variations that allow a slow maturation and a great concentration of aromas and perfumes.

The grapes ferment spontaneously and macerate for about five days in steel; then slowly aged in barriques of first and second passage, for a period of time that varies from harvest to harvest, to be finally bottled without clarification or filtration and left to rest in the bottle for at least one year.

Ruby red color with slight garnet reflections. The very low yields make the aromas present in this bottle really intense and enveloping with notes of small red fruits combined with refined spicy hints of white pepper. The palate is warm, elegantly velvety, with good acidity and structure and with a gentle presence of tannin.

Suitable in combination with braised meats, roasts and game, excellent with mature cheeses, also goes well with rich fish soups.
