Terrior
The Veneto region’s cooler climate and proximity to the Alps provide ideal conditions for growing Pinot Grigio. The region’s limestone and clay-rich soils contribute to the wine’s fresh acidity and minerality, while the moderate climate allows the grapes to ripen slowly, preserving their delicate aromatics and crispness.
