San Angelo "Holy Angel" was the first 100% Pinot Grigio to ever be produced in Montalcino, Tuscany. Lush tropical fruit aromas and flavors, balanced with crisp citrus notes, reflect its unique Tuscan character and distinguish San Angelo Pinot Grigio from its northern counterparts.
Starting with selective grape harvest, the temperature-controlled fermentation (59-64˚F) of the free-run juice is immediately followed by storage at a low temperature, which leaves a light and natural effervescence. The wine is bottled a few months after the harvest before the new year ends.
Bottle Size: 750ml
