2024 Laetare Pinot Grigio, Fiuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy
ABOUT THIS WINE
This Pinot Grigio is crafted from sustainably farmed vineyards nestled in the gentle hills of Friuli-Venezia Giulia, an area celebrated for its unique combination of marine-influenced limestone soils and cool alpine breezes. Harvested at optimal ripeness, the grapes are gently pressed and fermented with native yeasts in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve purity and aromatic brightness.
Post-fermentation, the wine rests on fine lees for several months, adding a soft, creamy texture without compromising its crisp profile. The result is a beautifully balanced wine—zesty and refreshing, yet nuanced and textural. It shines as an aperitif and pairs gracefully with light seafood dishes like marinated shrimp, grilled white fish, vegetable terrines, and fresh salads.
ABOUT THIS PRODUCER
Laetare is a boutique estate rooted in Friuli-Venezia Giulia’s strong tradition of careful viticulture. With a philosophy grounded in sustainability, the team employs low-intervention practices in both vineyard and cellar. Attention to vine health, canopy balance, and precise harvest timing results in wines of clarity and site expression.
Their winemaking ethos favors minimal handling—using native yeast fermentation, gentle lees aging, and low sulfur additions—to craft wines that truly speak of Friuli’s unique terroirs. The estate’s Pinot Grigio embodies this approach beautifully: precise, refreshing, and polished, with a sense of place that reflects the care behind every vintage.
