MONGRIS PINOT GRIGIO Collio DOC Marco Felluga

The name Mongris originates from the combination of two words: “monovitigno” (single-varietal) and “gris”, which means “gray” in Friulian.

A variety cultivated in the Collio region since the mid-1800s, Pinot Grigio reaches its highest qualitative expression in our denomination.

Appellation

Collio DOC

Production area

Villages of Farra d’Isonzo, San Floriano and Cormòns, in the CollioDOC.

Grape variety

Pinot Grigio

Type of soil

The Collio’s hilly terrain, formed during the Eocene period, consists of layers of sandstone and loam rock (limestone and clay) that were once part of the ocean floor. The resulting soil is impermeable, so rainwater flows off its surface, producing little erosion and preventing stagnant water.

Vine training system

Guyot

Harvest

All hand picked

Vinification

After destemming, the must and pulp undergo a cold maceration, followed by a gentle pressing to separate the grapes from the skins. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. The wine thus obtained is left to refine six months on the lees before being bottled, and then some more months in the bottle.

Characteristics

Golden yellow color with copper hints. It has an intense aroma with pronounced hints of acacia flower, broom and apple. It has an elegant, fruity, full-bodied and structured taste. It has a long finish.
