Description
What type of wine it is
The Leonardo da Vinci Capolavori Pinot Grigio Dama Ermellino from Cantine Leonardo da Vinci is a still white wine made from Pinot Grigio grapes. This Indicazione Geografica Tipica from Rubicone, in Emilia-Romagna, fermented in stainless steel, presents with a pale straw-yellow colour with greenish highlights. On the nose, hints of broom and jasmine emerge, resting on a fresh herbaceous background. On the palate, it proves savoury and linear, distinguished by a vegetal finish with pleasant mineral notes, making it perfect for pairing with salt cod ravioli or lean fish dishes.
Where it comes from
The grapes grow among the hills of Bertinoro, Faenza and Brisighella, at an average altitude of between one hundred and one hundred and fifty metres: an ideal geographical condition for preserving aromatic freshness. The clayey soils of the Faenza area, rich in limestone and chalky veins, give the wine a distinctly savoury character and a precise territorial identity. The entire production chain is carefully managed by Cantine Leonardo da Vinci, an oenological project born in 1961 from the collaboration of numerous local winegrowers.
How it is produced
Following the September harvest, carried out in vineyards trained using Guyot and spurred cordon systems, the must undergoes cold fermentation in stainless steel tanks with the help of selected yeasts. This technique allows the original aromatic fragrance of the bunch to be kept intact. This is followed by two months of ageing on the fine lees, enriched by periodic bâtonnage, which increases the wine's gustatory cohesion by balancing its structure with natural freshness, for a harmonious and very clean final result.
History and trivia
Founded in 1961 through the union of thirty agricultural estates, Cantine Leonardo da Vinci celebrates the indissoluble bond between oenology and Renaissance art. This fascinating Pinot Grigio Rubicone IGT is part of the prestigious Capolavori range, conceived to honour the famous Tuscan genius. The elegant label depicts the renowned “Lady with an Ermine”, paying tribute to an immortal work and transforming the vocation of the clay soils of Emilia-Romagna into an authentic cultural tribute, to be admired and savoured in the glass.

The original headquarters, restructured and enlarged, are still the operative centre today. The winery is situated in the borough of Vinci, just 5 kilometres from the birthplace of the world famous artist and inventor Leonardo.
The co-operative takes its name from the great man, paying homage to the mind of the man who was universally recognised as a genius and to emphasise its deep-rooted bond with the territory, the same bond which Leonardo felt and whose surname is specifically associated with the village where he was born on 15 April 1452.
Today, Cantine Leonardo da Vinci is a pioneering co-operative, innovative and modern, which relies on the work and grape production of its 160 members. Read more
