Roeno Winery is a true family business. It was founded in the 1960s by Rolando Fugatti. He has since passed the winery on to the second generation: Roberta, Cristina, and Giuseppe. The winery has many vineyards throughout magnificent Italy. However, the Pinot Grigio grapes for Roeno Tera Alta Pinot Grigio come from a separate vineyard. The Tera Alta vineyard, specially selected for Pinot Grigio grapes, is located in Valdadige, a wine region in northern Italy.
The Pinot Grigio grapes are harvested entirely by hand. This allows the winemaker to better select the best grapes. Only the finest and fullest bunches are considered for Roeno Tera Alta Pinot Grigio. After fermentation, a portion of the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation in oak, which tempers the acidity. The remainder of Roeno Tera Alta Pinot Grigio is aged in stainless steel tanks on its own lees (sur lie). This further softens the wine, making it a true pleasure to drink.
Elegance reigns supreme with this dazzling wine from northern Italy. It feels like a liquid fairytale, one that will make every wine lover fall in love. Your nose is immediately treated to rich and generous aromas of diverse tropical fruits and fresh pears. Take a sip of Roeno Tera Alta Pinot Grigio, and a unique palate envelops your tongue. Perfectly balanced. The acidity is present yet slightly tempered. Bursting with tropical fruit on your taste buds. Roeno Tera Alta Pinot Grigio is heavenly! This wine is naturally excellent as an aperitif but also pairs perfectly with shellfish dishes.
