Pino Flaibani owns 5 hectares of steep, terraced, hilltop vineyards and makes one wine, and this blush Pinot Grigio is it. As in the traditional Friulian way, this was left on the skins for a few hours, imparting the characterful copper-blush hue (much like the label). A silken palate brings light florals, gentle peach blossom and lifted acidity, with the extended skin contact providing a lick of texture and interest. A charming example, and a nice offset to commercial Italian Pinot Grigio.
