Tasting Notes

This family-run estate in Treviso, in northeast Italy, was founded over 90 years ago by the Nardini family. The decision was made at that time to dedicate their lives to working the land, to understand what it can offer, and follow where it takes them. Now, brothers Pietro and Paolo take that passion for the land and the vines even further by applying the latest technological techniques while still respecting the traditions of the region.

The family owns ~150 hectares of vineyards, slightly over half being dedicated to the production of Prosecco - 12 Ha of Prosecco DOCG and 65 Ha of Prosecco DOC. Other vineyard holdingss are about 2/3rds white wine and 1/3rd red. Total annual production is approximately 6 million bottles.
2020 Pinot Grigio DOC delle Venezie “Gondola”

This wine is made from 100% Pinot Grigio grapes, harvested from low-yield vineyards in the Veneto and Frìuli Venezia Giulia, ranging from 30-120 mt above sea level. The soils are predominantly of alluvial origin, medium-textured, mainly clayey, with some gravel. Harvest was the end of August to the beginning of September.

Following destemming and soft crushing, fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled (16º - 18º celsius), stainless-steel tanks. The wine is aged in stainless-steel tanks for two months, on the fine lees, with frequent battonage. It rests in bottle for two more months.

Our tasting note: Bright, straw-yellow colour, with golden tinges. Fresh aromas and flavours of stone fruits - white peach and apricot - pear, and warm citrus, with slight herbal/floral notes. Dry, light- to medium-bodied, with fresh fruit acidity, good structure, and a lingering, clean finish. 12.5% alc./vol.; RS <4 gr./L.

Food matches: Easy to drink on its own. Pair with fish dishes, shellfish, white meats, vegetarian dishes and fresh or medium-age cheeses.
