750ml

The Pullus pinot grigio has little in common with other pinot grigios. It is a wine of character, soul, and distinction that very much differentiates itself from the others. First, check out its color. The grapes for the Pullus pinot grigio are dark pink, bordering on purple when mature. The skins are left to macerate in the pressed juice for 72 hours, lending its unique, copper-hued, slightly rosé-tinted color.

It sees no wood and is naturally-fermented in stainless-steel vats with very low doses of sulfur employed, in accordance with traditional “hands off” winemaking. On the palate, there are refreshing notes of fresh cut lime and a hint of pear with a surprisingly textured mouth-feel and bracing minerality from the extended skin contact. It’s clean, crisp, and refreshing, yet complex.

Winemaker Notes: This is a skin contact white that is fresh and fruit forward. Aromas of pear, green melon, and nectarine lead to an oily palate with depth and complexity. Perfectly ripe grapes deliver a luscious wine that is balanced by bright acidity and inviting minerality. Enjoy chilled with vegetable dishes, pasta, creamy sauces, poultry, fish, and charcuterie.
