Souvignier Gris PIWI Resistente 2021 - Colli del Soligo

Souvignier Gris is a vine resistant* to fungal diseases, it was created by crossing the Seyval variety with the Zahringer in 1983 in Germany. The bunches of grapes are harvested at the beginning of September, once they reach the cellar they are pressed and the must is left to macerate on the skins for a few days. This gives the characteristic color and enriches the aromatic bouquet. At the end of this process the alcoholic fermentation starts in stainless steel containers. Maturation follows, which for 30% of the mass takes place in new wooden barriques and continues for about six months. This is where the spicy aromas and the particular warm and rich flavor originate. After which the two masses are united again and following the blend is filtered and bottled to then be put on the market after a few months of rest in the bottle. * resistant vine: it is a vine obtained from interspecific crossings aimed at lowering the susceptibility of the plant towards cryptogamic diseases (such as downy mildew and powdery mildew) and low temperatures. In this way a stronger plant is obtained and consequently viticulture becomes ethically and ecologically more sustainable both for man and for the environment. The resulting wines are healthier and qualitatively not inferior to the conventional ones we usually consume. In Italy, the cultivation of 10 resistant grape varieties is currently permitted. Colli del Soligo offers two, Souvignier Gris in the still wine version and Johanniter in the sparkling version. Taste to know. Don't miss the opportunity, taste it!
