The Story
Mario Schiopetto was regarded as the father of modern Italian white wine, his Friuli winery today making some of Italy's finest. The Pompiere Line (Fireman's Line) Pinot Grigio is produced from the grapes that grow in the vineyards which are less than 20 years old. Picked by hand the grapes are pressed delicately but rapidly in order to preserve the classical straw yellow colour avoiding the leakage of colour from the dark skin. Floral and juicy this Pinot Grigio is full of ripe pear, fennel, almond and mineral notes.[#intro]A floral & juicy Pinot Grigio from arguably Italy's finest white wine maker...[/intro]
