The vineyard employs the traditional pergola trellising system, densely populated with 3500 vines per hectare, established in 1998. This system is primarily used for white grapes to shield them from excessive sunlight and potential sunburn while also promoting airflow to deter disease and provide a cooling effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUpon arrival at the winery, the fruit is meticulously hand-sorted, cooled, and gently pressed as whole bunches into tanks. The juice is then fermented with indigenous yeast within stainless steel tanks and avoids malolactic fermentation to preserve the fruit's freshness and purity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bouquet presents delightful aromas of white peach and green pear, complemented by a hint of quartz and citrus peel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe palate experiences a vibrant, crunchy acidity with notes of white peach, green pear, and peach blossoms. A persistent saline minerality captivates the palate, stimulating interest. The wine exhibits a substantial mid-palate weight that harmonizes the crisp acidity and saline notes. Overall, it boasts remarkable persistence, encapsulating a beautifully handcrafted Pinot Grigio with intricate layers of complexity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eVariety\u003c\/strong\u003e - Pinot Grigio\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry\u003c\/strong\u003e - Italy\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eRegion\u003c\/strong\u003e - Friuli\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExtra\u003c\/strong\u003e - Cork\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYear\u003c\/strong\u003e - 2024\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eVolume\u003c\/strong\u003e - \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e750ml\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003ca id=\"more_desc_btn\" href=\"#pro_more_desc\"\u003eAbout the Wine Maker \u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4211\/3208\/files\/right-arrow_480x480.jpg?v=1647847041\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"pro_more_desc\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlanted in 1990, the Terre di Valfredda vineyard is naturally protected from the elements by the surrounding Dolomites. This highly prized vineyard is made up of four small plots of clay and limestone soil that form a cone shape, which the locals in the area call \u003cbr\u003eValfredda or \"cold valley.\"  \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAs one of Italy's top winemakers, Riccardo Cotarella's experience with Pinot Grigio comes from twelve years of study and  experimentation conducted in vineyards as well as in the cellar at the University of Viterbo where he is Professor of Oenology and \u003cbr\u003eViticulture. During this time Cotarella has received many offers of collaboration to produce Pinot Grigio with numerous Italian wineries, but in the end elected to work with Ca' Montini on his first Trentino effort. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ca Montini","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53422412136632,"sku":"SKU-300426022216","price":39.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4211\/3208\/files\/210235C8-B64C-466B-BAB1-798A07D5D7F4.jpg?v=1777882801","url":"https:\/\/www.vauclusecellars.com.au\/products\/ca-montini-pinot-grigio-2024","provider":"Vaucluse Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
