Marjan Simcic Brda Pinot Grigio Classic 2022 750 ML

Located in the Brda wine region (the Slovenian Collio), Marjan Simcic is a renowned family-run winery. It was Jozef Simcic who founded the business in 1860, and today the company and the vineyards are in the hands of Marjan, the fifth generation of the family. The company concentrates production on white vines which produce wines of excellent quality and longevity in the Collio.
The Pinot Grigio grapes come from the Italian Collio and more precisely from the Ronc di Zegla cru, a vineyard located at approximately 250 meters above sea level, planted on marly, clayey, and calcareous soils. The 45-year-old vines enjoy a south-east exposure. After the manual harvest, fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts in contact with the skins in oak vats. The finished wine then rests in oak vats for 12 on the yeasts before bottling.
Pinot Grigio Cru Selection has a pale pink color with coppery reflections. On the nose, it reveals a delicate and captivating bouquet of red apple and raspberry with hints of cardamom. On the palate, it is fresh and mineral, round and juicy. It has a medium body and a long, elegant finish. It is excellent as an aperitif or with Thai cuisine, with rich salads and seafood.
