Italo Cescon

Description

Italo Cescon TesiRare Biancogrigio Pinot Grigio "integro" 2021

The TesiRare is a biodynamic & minimal intervention series from Italo Cescon, focused on preserving the purity of the vine.

Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Pinot Grigio, averaging 30 years old vines from gravelly soils in Veneto, Italy

Taste Profile: The winery chooses not to dictate tasting notes, due to the naturally evolving style of the wine. But expect something with freshness, driven by topical fuit like mango & passion fruit, as well as savory gooseberry!

Winemaking Process: Hand picked grapes selected in the vineyard, followed by direct pressing of whole grapes. The must undergoes spontaneous fermentation for 20 days in concrete tanks. Aging on lees for 6 months under battonage, bottled unfiltered. After bottling, it rests for another 18months before release

Bright & Mineral Whites

From the limestone character of Sancerre to the green, herbaceous Sauvignon Blanc of Marlborough, this style group often shows off cut grass and wet stone. Often associated with coastal regions or limestone based terroir, these wines are characterised with crisp acidity, mineraiity, citrus tones, with a hint of grassiness
