The aromatic profile opens with clear notes of acacia flowers, accompanied by hints of white peach and \u003cstrong\u003etropical fruit\u003c\/strong\u003e. On the palate, it shows good volume and a pronounced mineral streak, well balanced by a lively and refreshing citrus drive. Its balanced structure and savoury sip make it ideal for pairing with \u003cstrong\u003efish dishes\u003c\/strong\u003e and selections of flavourful cheeses, if served chilled between 10 and 12 degrees Celsius.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe vines take root in Cortona di Fiumicello, in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, along the ancient course of the Torre stream. The area is characterised by \u003cstrong\u003esoils rich in active limestone\u003c\/strong\u003e, with a neutral or slightly basic pH, composed of silt, sand and gravel. This alluvial geological matrix gives the wine a distinct \u003cstrong\u003emineral imprint\u003c\/strong\u003e and marked savouriness. The deep connection with the Friuli territory is reflected in an essential and clean style, which enhances the vocation of the area, ensuring a \u003cstrong\u003egreat palate cleanliness\u003c\/strong\u003e and a measured sip.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe harvest takes place in the first half of September. This is followed by careful \u003cstrong\u003ewhite vinification\u003c\/strong\u003e of the grapes, which includes direct pressing and cold stabilisation. The subsequent fermentation at controlled temperature faithfully preserves the integrity of the delicate varietal aromas. A brief \u003cstrong\u003eageing on fine lees\u003c\/strong\u003e gives further depth and continuity to the palate before bottling. This process gives the Pinot Grigio a vibrant freshness, ensuring a \u003cstrong\u003edry\u003c\/strong\u003e, harmonious and refinedly elegant sip.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eValpanera Friuli Pinot Grigio DOC 2024 originates in Cortona di Fiumicello, on land once crossed by the Torre stream.
