2023 Pinot Grigio delle Venezia



2023 Pinot Grigio delle Venezia When our interest had first turned to the wines of Franchetto, our attention was not on importing yet another Pinot Grigio amongst a sea of other options in the market. This position changed immediately upon our first taste of the lovely 2023 vintage. We realized that this Pinot Grigio would stand out amongst the sea of other options. It has everything to do with terrior and quality winemaking. Franchetto’s Pinot Grigio vineyards are located in Vestenanova, 500 m. above sea level. Here the vines have their roots in a soil that 45 millions of years ago was the bottom of a tropical sea and which today offers, in addition to highly quality grapes, important marine fossilized stone – such as the Angelfish represented on the label. Giulia defines it as her “mountain Pinot Grigio”. Here the microclimate and the environment, interpreted by a great winemaker like Antonio, give rise to a wine that presents elegant refinement and harmony, fragrance and freshness, with a distinctive mineral vein.
