Frequently asked about Vie di Romans Dessimis Pinot Grigio
What does Vie di Romans Dessimis taste like?
Yellow apple, white peach, pear and almond on the nose; yellow stone fruit, almond skin, saline lift and a long fresh close on the palate. Full-bodied with high acidity.
When should I drink Vie di Romans Dessimis?
Drink 2 to 10 years from vintage. The cellar's long-lees discipline gives the wine medium-term cellar capacity.
What makes Dessimis Pinot Grigio different from supermarket Pinot Grigio?
The Dessimis parcel is hand-farmed at low yields and the wine is held on lees for around 11 months. The result is full-bodied and structured rather than the neutral fresh-bottling style of mass-market Pinot Grigio.
What food pairs with Vie di Romans Dessimis?
Risotto with porcini is the canonical pairing. Grilled white fish, prosciutto with melon, and chicken in white wine sauce are equally strong.
