Damijan Pinot Grigio 2020
Friuli Venezia Giulia, Italy
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Description
An absolutely distinctive Pinot Grigio, infused with the soul of Friuli and the character of winemaker Damijan. After 30 days of skin maceration, it reveals a captivating copper-amber hue — merely the prelude to a remarkable sensory experience. Aromas of dried flowers, fruit tea, wild herbs and candied orange peel lead into a textured palate where gentle tannins support vibrant acidity. An expressive, layered wine with a long finish — crafted for the table, not for the hurried glass.
