Pinot grigio Friuli
Pinot grigio, obtained by a mutation of Pinot Noir, is well known also as Pinot Gris: this is the Italy’s most popular white wine among international customers and it derives mostly from the northeast region of Veneto and Friuli.
Pinot Grigio Doc Friuli Grave “Il Tralcetto” has founded his best location on the grave of Tagliamento river in Codroipo: in our vineyard, thanks to warm days and cold nights, he develops acidity and round fruit flavours.
