Description

Product description for Scarbolo Pinot Grigio “Salvadi” DOC 2023

Scarbolo’s Pinot Grigio comes from a vineyard called Codis and was macerated for 15 days. The winery’s idea is to give the wine greater freshness through skin contact and the resulting extraction of tannins. It is grown in the lowlands on rich alluvial soils with alluvial deposits of dolomitic limestone in the Grave subregion, characterized by its heavily silty soils. At harvest, some of the grapes are still unripe, which further emphasizes the impression of freshness. Hand-picked on September 7th, the wines are fermented in open tonneaux and then aged for a further 27 months in tonneaux.

Color

Bright cherry red with orange reflections and a satin sheen.

Nose

The nose of the 2023 Salvadi Pinot Grigio from Scarbolo unpacks layer by layer like a zip file. It begins, typical of the variety, with notes of red apple, including seeds and peel, followed by a light kernel note, pickled ginger, subtly smoky notes alongside green almonds and a gnawed peach stone. Dried hay flowers and mild herbs complete the still life.

Palate

On the palate, the Salvadi delivers what the nose promises: a phenolically dominated, once again subtly smoky and spicy Pinot Grigio with decent structure and a highly aromatic phenolic backbone. With juicy fruit and rich extract, it appears generous on the palate without sacrificing finesse. With a silky texture and medium body, the ripe acidity is tightly interwoven with the tart tannins, carrying them into the long, fruit-driven finish.
