✨ wine.spec_sheet
Hailing from the prestigious Friuli Venezia Giulia region in northeastern Italy, Zonin's Pinot Grigio showcases a wine-making heritage shaped by the dramatic collision of Alpine and Mediterranean climates. The Zonin family, whose viticultural roots date back to 1821, selects grapes from vineyards nestled between the Julian Alps and the Adriatic Sea. This unique geography creates cool night breezes and warm days, preserving the grape's vibrant natural acidity while fostering rich aromatic complexity. Vinified entirely in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to maintain its crisp, fruit-forward profile, this single-varietal Pinot Grigio avoids oak contact, allowing the pristine flavors of golden apple, pear, and delicate white blossoms to take center stage, underpinned by the subtle, stony minerality characteristic of Friulian soils.
