Pinot Grigio Spumante is made exclusively from Pinot Grigio. The vines grow in clayey, sandy soil. During the summer, the temperature reaches between 28º and 30ºC during the day, while at night it is around 10 due to the mountains in the area. The grapes are harvested by hand at optimal maturity. After arrival at the winery, they are de-stemmed and pressed and the must undergoes sedimentation at a low temperature and yeast is added. Fermentation takes place at a controlled low temperature of 14ºC. After the first fermentation, the wine is clarified and filtered. Second fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks under pressure, in which the pressure rises to about 5 atm over the course of a month until the fermentation process is over. The wine is clarified before final filtration.

About the Vinhuset:

Giol is located in Northern Italy not far from Venice and close to the border with Austria. The castle was built in 996 and has seen a lot over the years. During the First World War, the entire area was invaded by Austria and the castle was a base for Austrian troops. There are still bullets in some of the barrels in the cellar from that time. The castle has been a vineyard under different owners since 1427. The current family bought the winery in 1919, when Giovanni Giol returned to Italy from Mendoza in Argentina, where he had built a true wine empire. Today, it is Giovanni's great-granddaughter, Luisa, who runs the winery with the help of her son Vittorio. Giol became a certified organic wine producer in 1987, and the winery is run with passion and great respect for nature.
