History and Winemaking
Friuli is famous for producing some of Italy’s finest Pinot Grigio, and the ramato style gives this wine a unique twist. In this method, the grape skins stay in contact with the juice for a short time, adding depth, texture, and a beautiful copper hue. Valentino Butussi is a well-respected producer in the region, known for crafting wines that truly reflect Friuli’s exceptional terroir. This Pinot Grigio is made with precision to enhance its structure and complexity while keeping its fresh, vibrant character intact.
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.
