Product Details
Product Description
Pinot Grigio has become Italy's most famous white wine, beloved the world over. Ruffino Lumina Pinot Grigio comes from the growing regions best suited for high quality Italian Pinot Grigio: Veneto, Friuli-Venezia Giulia and Trentino. We carefully select the best fruit from high-altitude vineyards that rise dramatically out of flat plains. The name Lumina, 'illumination of the moon' in Italian, brings attention to the importance of moonlight during a grapevine's life. The label's quarter-moon represents the ancient alchemist's symbol for this satellite of the earth.
From grapes grown in the most sought-after winegrowing regions of Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia. Carefully selected grapes were harvested at the end of August through the first half of September. The grapes were destemmed, crushed, and lightly pressed. Fermentation took place at 60°F in stainless steel, temperature-controlled tanks for approximately 10 days. We source the grapes for Lumina from the Delle Venezie IGT, an appellation comprised of Veneto, Friuli-Venezia Giulia and Trentino. These are the top regions in Italy for the cultivation of Pinot Grigio. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks.
