26% barrel fermentation (7% mlf) and 8 months on lees has invested the wine with complexity one might expect from a gris but not a grigio. Regardless, the result is a high quality wine with a smoky, tangy set of flavours finishing with citrus on the clean, fresh aftertaste.

Casa Freschi handles the Italian-origin varieties and styles with experience and aplomb, hence no surprise that this textural, grassy, pear-juice-in-mineral-water-feeling wine is an excellent buy. It’s the kind of wine that drinks a charm but feels a bit classy too. A ripper drink. 12.0%
