FRE ATT PGR
Attems Pinot Grigio Ramato continues a tradition of the Republic of Venice, since “ramato,” or coppery, was the term that referred to Pinot Grigio. A special vinification practice led to the use of this term: the must remains in contact with the skins for about 10 hours and this practice gives the wine a beautiful rosè hue. Our Ramato boasts a rich, complex bouquet of crisp fruity impressions including white peach, and cantaloupe followed by blackberry and bitter cherry with an intriguing hint of wild flowers. On the palate the wine is enveloping with a pleasant acidity and long mineral finish of red fruits.
Serving suggestions: A perfect partner to sweeter cured meats and prosciutto, as well as pasta with vegetables sauces or shell-fish.

VINIFICATION: following the de-stemming, the peels and must were left in contact for about 8 hours at 8°C. Subsequently, the rosé must obtained from the soft pressing of the grapes is left to rest for 24-48 hours. Finally, on clear must, the low temperature (15- 17°C) alcoholic fermentation is allowed to take place in steel vats for 15 days. Following the fermentation, the wine rests for four months on noble lees often kept in suspension.

TASTING NOTES: Characteristic colour with a delicate onion hue. The bouquet is intense and varied; cherry and wild strawberry mingle with pleasant citrus accents of pink grapefruit and sweeter notes of yellow peach. The lively acidity enhances the minerality that envelops a consistent structure. The savoury finish leaves us with pleasant field flower and white pepper memories.
