✨ Technical Specifications
Castel del Lago Pinot Grigio originates from the expansive Delle Venezie DOC in northeastern Italy, a region moderated by cold alpine currents and warmer Mediterranean air off the Adriatic Sea. Grown primarily on alluvial gravel and mineral-dense limestone soils around the Veneto, the grapes undergo temperature-controlled stainless steel fermentation with no oak contact to preserve vibrant primary fruit. The resulting wine highlights crisp, refreshing fruitiness and vibrant natural acidity typical of northern Italian whites.
🍾 About the Producer
Castel del Lago is a dedicated regional label produced under the aegis of CADIS 1898, formerly renowned as Cantina di Soave, a historic cooperative founded in 1898 in the heart of eastern Veneto. Sourcing fruit across the broader Delle Venezie denomination, the brand harnesses an extensive mosaic of alluvial gravels, volcanic soils, and calcareous clay deposits framed by the moderating Alpine-Mediterranean microclimate. Viticultural management adheres to rigorous sustainable guidelines via CADIS's digital PROVIT monitoring system, ensuring optimized vine health and harvest selection among participating growers. In the cellar, vinification emphasizes pristine fruit purity and regional typicity through temperature-controlled stainless steel fermentation and minimal reductive handling. Benchmark bottlings like the Castel del Lago Pinot Grigio Delle Venezie capture the quintessential crispness of northern Italian whites, presenting delicate aromas of green apple, white blossoms, and citrus alongside refreshing minerality and vibrant natural acidity.
