Pinot Grigio Bastianich is a wine of great flexibility and elegance, which testifies to the deep bond between the well-known family and the Friulian territory, including its native vines. A history that has deep roots, closely influenced by a strong passion for wine and the growth of the region in the production of quality bottles. A journey to rediscover their origins, which led the Bastianichs, now resident in America, to plant their first vineyards in Buttrio and Cividale del Friuli. The goal was immediately to give life to liquids linked to their place of origin, but which at the same time were able to stand out for their body, persuasiveness and structure and, judging by the success of the company, expectations are not only been achieved, but even largely exceeded.
- Process : The Pinot Grigio wine of the Bastianich winery comes from grapes Pinot Grigio in purity from vineyards from the Cividale area, inColli Orientali del Friuli. The vines, aged between 5 and 25 years, rest on calcareous marl soils, with medium-density guyot systems. There harvest takes place manually, so as to allow a careful selection of the best grapes first in the vineyard and then in the cellar. Thanks to the use of modern and avant-garde machinery, all processes, from winemaking to refinement which take place in steel, are perfectly managed and controlled. A further refinement of six months on the fine lees gives greater complexity and richness to the liquid, which is then ready to be marketed.
- Features : Bastianich's white Pinot Grigio comes with a robeyellow full straw yellow. Thenose it is immediately a succession of sensations linked to crunchy fresh fruit, such as golden apple and pear, which alternate with hints of white flowers among which linden and jasmine stand out. The sip is beautiful, full but at the same time extremely smooth, alternating the initial softness with a very refined salinity that emerges in the finish. Conquest for its almost boundless versatility.
- Pairings : Excellent as an aperitif, it goes splendidly with velvety, soups and salads. Excellent with a vegetable couscous dish.

Bastianich Winery
The wine we drink has an intense history, it is part of a tradition with very deep roots and often travels the whole world to reach our table. The Bastianich company, founded in 1997, consists of 27 hectares of vineyards. All the vineyards are located on the Colli Orientali del Friuli, in two distinct areas falling within the DOC area. The history of this land has deep roots. Viticulture in this region has been practiced since the 2nd century BC. , with the advent of the Romans who first planted the vine. The millenary tradition, the particular clayey-marly soil called "ponca" and the numerous microclimates created by the winds of the Julian Alps and the proximity to the Adriatic Sea make the Colli Orientali del Friuli region one of the most suitable in Friuli Venezia Giulia. It is these unique characteristics that allow the wines of this Doc to be particularly elegant and mineral, with a strong character that fully communicates the terroir.
