TASTING NOTES

Seven days of skin contact gives this Pinot Grigio an unfamiliar hue that most wine drinkers wouldn’t expect. This pinkish-skinned grape is usually made into a white wine. Dario’s Pinot Grigio is made with grapes grown in a very natural way, only spraying sulfur if he really needs to and nothing more. His philosophy is carried over into his wine making where nothing is added, not even the yeast.

PRODUCER NOTES

Dario Princic makes his wines near the town of Oslavia in north-eastern Italy, very close to the border with Slovenia. Here limestone predominates. The dry winds are an aid to organic viticulture, which Princic has been practising for more than twenty years. He is one of the founding members of Vini Veri, an association of Italian natural wine producers.
