Note di degustazione
100% Pinot Grigio from the Vigna Castel Ringberg estate, on a south-facing hillside above Lake Caldaro, 380 m (1,150 feet) above sea level. Soils are morainic, of inter-glacial origin consisting of chalk and clay. Gentle pressing, followed by static clarification. A part ferments in stainless steel tanks under controlled temperature (20 °C). 15% of the must ferments in French oak barriques (Allier) followed by partial malolactic fermentation. The blending occurs shortly before bottling in springtime the following year. RS 2.8 g/l, TA 5.4 g/l. Simple fresh-pear nose. But much more than that on the palate. A rather lovely PG! Pear-skin sweetness and just a tiny bit of texture, fragrant and soft yet crimped with lively acidity. Light dusting of spice. Very pretty! Graceful. (TC)

This is a beautiful and spot-on wine. The 2016 Alto Adige Pinot Grigio Castel Ringberg is fresh and zesty with bright aromas of lime, green apple and honeydew melon. A small part (15%) of the wine is fermented in oak, and the wine does undergo malolactic fermentation, although the effects are mild and well integrated here. This wine will put up no obstacle when paired with your favorite spicy Thai or Indian vegetable dishes.
