If the indication 100% Pinot Grigio makes you think of the impalpable white wines of the North East, you are mistaken. Finell, in fact, shares only the name of the original grape variety with those products. Let's start with the fact that this Pinot Grigio grows in Cardano, in the province of Bolzano, at about 350 metres above sea level. We continue with a vinification that involves a delicate pressing of whole grapes and a maceration of at least 8 hours on the skins. Then, after fermentation in stainless steel at a controlled temperature, the wine is aged "sur lies" while a part of the wine, about 20%, is aged in second-hand French oak barriques, for a period of about 4 months. The result is a wine characterized by a beautiful bright golden yellow colour with pink reflections, typical for the grape variety. Notes of flowers and ripe, sweet fruit on the nose. In the mouth, however, the pleasantness is guaranteed by a nice natural acidity, which integrates with the sweetness of the fruit. Then a strong mineral flavour that manifests itself with a subtle perception of salt. Rich in the finish and very persistent. An elegant wine full of vigor, with a seductive and youthful character.
For once, the dusty coat of arms is countered by a sparkling good mood. The two eclectic brothers, Markus Thomas Puff, run their small boutique winery near Bolzano. To learn more about them and their products, just think that.... "in the land below Cornedo Castle, not far from Bolzano, weapons were once manufactured for the local lords. Today we produce wines with a strong character, authentic pleasure bombs". That's what they say about themselves on their website and it's really hard to disprove them. Pitzner Winery has five different vineyards, located in five different areas. And the challenge for the dynamic duo of South Tyrolean winemakers is to get only the best from each individual vineyard. And so it is that every year fans can enjoy a total of 35 thousand bottles. Only a small number? Of course. But on the other hand, they are all very, very good. "In Cardano's cellar, "little but good" is a law that cannot be disputed. It is appreciated."
