A stunning ramato-style Pinot Grigio, this wine boasts a beautiful copper hue, offering a unique twist on the classic varietal. The nose is floral and mineral-driven, with enticing tropical notes of mango.

A sophisticated and expressive wine that beautifully showcases the artistry of Friulian winemaking.
History and Winemaking
Friuli is renowned for producing some of Italy’s finest Pinot Grigio, and the ramato style—where the grape skins are left in contact with the juice for a short period—adds depth, texture, and a distinctive copper hue. Valentino Butussi is a respected producer in the region, crafting wines that reflect Friuli’s exceptional terroir. This Pinot Grigio is vinified with precision to enhance its structure and complexity, while preserving its fresh, vibrant character.
Tasting Notes
Aromas of white flowers, ripe mango, and crushed minerals lead into a structured palate with flavours of peach, citrus, and a touch of spice. A textured mouthfeel and lively acidity create a beautifully balanced wine with a long, refined finish.
Pairings
A versatile food wine, this Pinot Grigio Ramato pairs well with seafood risotto, grilled prawns, or roasted poultry. It also complements creamy pasta dishes and mild cheeses like Taleggio or Burrata, enhancing their delicate flavours with its crisp acidity and textural depth.
