Vinification of Pinot Grigio Isonzo del Friuli DOC by Borgo Conventi The grapes for this wine come from carefully tended vineyards in the Isonzo Valley in Friuli. The vines grow on well-drained, gravelly soils with a high mineral content. These soils store heat during the day and slowly release it to the vines at night. The mild climate, the proximity to the Adriatic and the winds from the Alps ensure ripe grapes with clear, fresh acidity and pure fruit. In the vineyard, the estate relies on gentle cultivation, reduced yields and consistent canopy management. This way, the grapes receive plenty of light while being protected from excessive heat. Harvesting is selective, mostly by hand, once the berries have reached their ideal ripeness. The aim is a harmonious balance of sugar, acidity and aroma. The grapes are quickly brought to the winery to avoid oxidation and preserve freshness. In the cellar, the whole grapes undergo gentle pressing. The must is cooled and separated from coarse lees. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. This preserves the fine fruit aromas of pear, apple and citrus in clear form. The cool fermentation lends the wine its bell-clear, fresh notes and preserves its typical minerality. After fermentation, the wine matures for several months on the fine lees. Through regular, gentle stirring of the lees, it gains structure, creaminess and depth without losing lightness. Oak is deliberately not used so that pure fruit and the character of the terroir remain at the center. After the maturation phase, the wine is gently filtered and bottled under protection from oxygen. This way, the Pinot Grigio Isonzo del Friuli DOC - Borgo Conventi reaches the bottle clear, fresh and aromatic.
