Pinot Nero D.O.C. Frizzante Blanc de Noir "Lio" 2020

Pinot Nero D.O.C. Frizzante Blanc de Noir "Lio" 2020

LombardyItaly

Lio is Giorgi Estates' lighter, Frizzante take on Pinot Nero — the same heritage grape behind the estate's Metodo Classico wines, here gently pressed off its skins in the Blanc de Noir style so a red grape yields a pale wine. Hand-harvested from low-yield Oltrepò Pavese vines and bottled in limited numbers, it's finished semi-dry with the soft, easy fizz of a Frizzante rather than the fuller pressure of a Spumante. Pour it as an aperitif or appetizer, or set it alongside pizza, risotto or seafood.

Sommelier's Notes

Tasting Notes

Bouquet

Delicate scents of white pulp fruits, with hints of yellow apple and pear well supported by an unexpected freshness. Slightly complex with a strong personality.

Flavor

An elegant wine with a good freshness that perfectly balance with his softness. Structured, harmonic and lingering, with an unexpected mineralogy that calls for another sip.

Food Pairing

Excellent as apéritif, best with fish, shellfish, fish risotto and pizza

Production Notes

  • Grapes are harvested early in the morning and quickly transported to the winery.
  • Following the soft pressing, only the best free run must (55% of the total amount of grape juice) is selected for winemaking.
  • The alcoholic fermentation takes place at controlled low temperatures to prevent any kind of modification of the must
  • The second fermentation occurs in temperature and pressure controlled stainless steel tanks for six months
