Mirabello Pinot Grigio Rosé

Produced from grapes grown in the Pavia region of northwest Italy. The ripest grapes are chosen from mature hillside vineyards and hand harvested in early September. The extra ripeness allows the dark-skinned Pinot Grigio grapes develop a pink tinge which is further enhanced by the addition of a small proportion of Pinot Noir grapes from the same vineyards. The grapes are harvested at optimum ripeness together, and the skins left in contact with the juice for 12 hours at low temperature before gentle pressing. After a slow, cool fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, the wine is bottled young to preserve freshness and aromas.
