From Vineyard to Table
Dalia Pinot Grigio hails from the picturesque Veneto region in Northern Italy, where the Dolomite mountains create an ideal environment for Pinot Grigio to thrive. The grapes are sourced from vineyards scattered over the foothills and hilly areas of the upper Val d’Alpone, benefiting from diverse soil types, including volcanic, alluvial, morainic, clayey, and calcareous soils.
The grapes are hand-harvested in late August when they are perfectly ripe. After gentle pressing, a slow fermentation process preserves their delicate aromas and flavors. The wine is aged in 100% stainless steel, maintaining its fresh and vibrant character.
Tasting Notes and Pairings
Dalia Pinot Grigio captivates with its pale yellow color and golden reflections. The aromatic bouquet is a delightful blend of ripe peach, apple, and fresh floral notes, complemented by a hint of flint stone. On the palate, Dalia is rich, mineral, and fresh, making it a truly refreshing wine for any occasion.
