The ColBajé vineyard above Cividale produces wines with a clear structure and delicate tension – including this expressive Pinot Grigio. The vines grow on calcareous soils and benefit from strong temperature differences between day and night. Selective harvest and careful ageing in stainless steel preserve the freshness and depth of the fruit. Vinification was carried out using the traditional Ramato method, in which the must macerates on the skins for a short time – this gives the wine its characteristic, delicate copper colour.

The colour in the glass is a bright straw yellow with a copper sheen. The aroma is precise and multi-faceted: white peach, yellow pear, grapefruit zest, a hint of acacia blossom and wet stone. Dry on the palate, with a fine texture, well-balanced acidity and elegant length characterised by minerality. A Pinot Grigio with origin and ambition – not just a "better" Pinot Gris, but a cru-style statement from the Colli Orientali. SUPERIORE.DE

"Striking acidity with a mature fruit character of red apple, lemon peel, green almond, cardamon and a touch of nuttiness." Decanter

"Spicy on the nose with aromas of dried orange peels, dried apples, summer herbs and a hint of beeswax. The medium-bodied palate is polished and textured, showcasing vivid acidity. Well-balanced and nicely structured, with a flavorful finish." James Suckling
