2020 Livon Pinot Grigio Ramato "Clas", Friuli-Venezia Giulia, ItalyABOUT THIS WINE Grapes are hand harvested sustainably in small boxes in October. Placed in a soft horizontal and carefully crushed, the must stays in contact with skins for 24 hours to naturally extract (Ramato) copper color. Must is then slowly fermented at 10 for 24 days and after fermentation the wine is moved into large stainless steel vats. A final refining in the bottle takes place for 6 months before release.
