Vinification
Santa Cristina Pinot Grigio delle Venezie D.O.C. is a fine expression of the Santa Cristina brand crafted from the very best Pinot Grigio grapes from this northeastern Italian region.
Winemaking
Freshly harvested grapes were brought to the cellar, delicately crushed and pressed. The free-run juice was chilled to a temperature of 8 °C (46 °F) to favor natural clarification. It was then transferred into stainless steel tanks where alcoholic fermentation took place at a controlled temperature that did not exceed 17 °C (63 °F). The wine was aged in stainless steel vats at a constant temperature of 10° C (50° F), was filtered and then bottled.
