Description
What kind of wine it is
The Pinot Grigio Riserva by Renato Keber is an organic white wine distinguished by its smoothness and depth. On the palate, it is warm, enveloping and persistent, with a velvety texture that promises excellent ageing potential. The aromatic profile is broad and complex, characterised by notes of ripe fruit, delicate acacia flowers, medicinal herbs and a hint of white chocolate. The intensity of Pinot Grigio makes it an ideal match at the table with risottos, soups, white meats and main courses of baked fish.
Where it comes from
This white wine originates from Zegla, a renowned area of Collio, in Friuli-Venezia Giulia. The region is historically dedicated to the production of wines of great precision and character. Collio Goriziano offers ideal soil and climate conditions, which Renato Keber interprets with mastery. The result is an authentic expression of the terroir capable of delivering a full-bodied wine with an enveloping structure, while maintaining a deep and harmonious connection with its natural environment.
How it is produced
The creation of this wine begins with a rigorous manual harvest, with careful selection of the best bunches. After destemming, the grapes undergo a light maceration on the skins, followed by gentle pressing and cold settling. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature, with part of the must fermenting in barrels to enrich the aromatic profile. The production process is completed with ageing on the lees for about twelve months, which is essential to give the wine its velvety texture and fruity persistence that set it apart.

The 2019 vintage of Renato Keber Collio Pinot Grigio Riserva originates from Zegla, a prime area for this grape variety.

The gently curving hillside called Zegla, close by the border with Slovenia, has long been home to Renato Keber and his family. Renato’s great grandfather, Franc, came from nearby Vipulzano to settle here in 1900, when this was still under Austrian rule.
Since then and for four generations, the Keber family has lived and produced its wine in Zegla, and even today, the older generations join the new ones in working in the vineyards. Read more
