The 2023 Pinot Bianco Collio by Komjanc Simon is a still white wine from the renowned Friuli Venezia Giulia region in Italy. Sourced from the San Floriano del Collio vineyard, it is distinguished by its pale and vibrant straw-yellow colour, which anticipates a complex and refined aromatic profile, characterised by fruity notes of apple and pear, floral hints of jasmine, hawthorn, and linden, and a delicate spicy accent of white pepper. Vintage: 2023 Alcohol content: 13.5 Harvest: Manual Organoleptic notes: In appearance, it presents a shy, pale, and deceptive straw-yellow with vibrant reflections. Excellent clarity and great brightness. It opens on the nose with fruity notes (apple and pear) and floral notes (slight nuances of jasmine, hawthorn, and linden), followed by delicate spicy (just a pinch of white pepper) and mineral notes. On the palate, it is dry, well-structured, fresh, and distinctly savoury. The apple and pear are recognisable along with a delicate aroma of exotic fruit (banana). The finish is very clean with a savoury mouthfeel. Vineyard: San Floriano del Collio Winemaking/Aging: Whole grapes are pressed, the free-run must is statically decanted cold and then added with selected yeasts. It is then subjected to a slow fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks (16-18°C). This Pinot Bianco DOC is ideal for those seeking an elegant and characterful white wine, perfect for pairing with light and refined dishes. It is recommended to taste it at a cool temperature to fully appreciate its freshness and savouriness that distinguish it.
