Lis Neris Gris Pinot Grigio 2020, Friuli, Italy
Founded in 1879, Lis Neris is a four generation family estate located in the centre of Friuli, in the charming village of San Lorenzo, south west of Gorizia. The 74 ha of vineyards are planted between the Slovenian border to the North and the right bank of the Isonzo river to the South. Lis Neris, currently run by Alvaro and his daughter Federica, is now recognized as one of the best producers in Friuli.
100% Pinot Grigio from 25+ year old single vineyard vines. The grapes are hand harvested. Fermentation and 11 months aging on the fine lees, in 500l neutral (3y+) Slovenian and French oak barrels, with frequent bâtonnage – first once a week, then once a month during the spring. One year in bottle before release. 13.5% alcohol. 3750 cases produced. Organic farming.
Tropical aromas (pineapple), along with creaminess. The richness on the palate is balanced by incredible acidity. This cuvée is named after the crickets (“Gris”) that love the heat emanating from the stones present on the soil, and congregate in this vineyard.
