2020 Kris Pinot Grigio DOC, Alto Adige

Kris is from the Delle Venezie, the historical term for the three regions of the Veneto, encompassing Trentino-Alto Adige, Friuli-Venezia Giulia and the Veneto. The labels, sketched by Italian artist, the late Riccardo Schweizer, portray the blending of art and science in the winemaking process. The gold orb depicts the role of the Italian sun in ripening the grapes, the hand represents the role of the human hand in cultivating the grapes and crafting the wine and the kiss represents the role of the lips that ultimately savour the wine. It is on the blending bench that art meets science, combining artistic intuition and technical ability to craft wines that are full of varietal and regional character with value for money in mind. The wine has aromas of acacia flowers, citrus and almonds, the palate lean and refreshing with notes of blossom and honey.
