The vineyards have been growing in Sicily's rich soil for decades. This allows the roots to be deeply dug, allowing them to easily absorb moisture. This is crucial, as this region can get very hot in summer. The rich soil structure gives the Pinot Grigio great power and finesse, which we taste in this white wine. When the grapes are ripe, they are harvested under the guidance of top winemaker Stefano Choccioli. Stefano knows better than anyone when the ripeness is reached and makes the wines sparkle in the glass every year.
The Pinot Grigio grapes are carefully hand-harvested in mid-August, when they still have sufficient acidity and freshness. Canapi Pinot Grigio is straw yellow in color. The aroma offers an intense bouquet of tropical fruit and citrus. The palate is soft and supple, yet above all refreshing. This is a versatile wine, with nuances of apple, citrus peel, and a hint of gooseberry. The finish is refreshing, especially ripe and smooth.
