2017 Pinot Grigio Dessimis

Although it is not indicated as such, this is a Ramato-styled Pinot Grigio that sports a pink-copper color thanks to some extended skin maceration (a process whereby the skin's color pigment is reflected in the wine's appearance). I've gone ahead and changed the color class of this wine to rosé in our database to be consistent. The Vie di Romans 2017 Friuli Isonzo Pinot Grigio Dessimis is a beautifully fragrant wine with a wide and long aromatic delivery. Wild berry, peach and grapefruit spread richly over the palate, leaving no part of the mouth untouched. The effect is quite spectacular, and vintage heat has played a big role in building the wide aromatic presence of the wine and its creamy, mid-weight mouthfeel. This is a stunner. Production is 50,366 bottles.
