Collio Pinot Grigio DOC Joy 2023 Castello di Spessa

What kind of wine is it

Collio Pinot Grigio Ramato Joy by Castello di Spessa is a white wine made from Pinot Grigio interpreted in the ramato style, with a brief maceration on the skins that gives it a pinkish hue and broadens its aromatic profile. Maturation in steel keeps the palate crisp and focused on the fruity notes, offering a fresh and approachable expression.

Where does it come from

Produced by Castello di Spessa, it originates from the Collio area, as indicated on the label. The ramato style enhances the variety’s features when left in contact with the skins, highlighting notes of small red fruits. The manual selection of grapes underlines a focused approach already in the vineyard.

How it is produced

The manually selected grapes undergo a skin maceration of 10–15 hours at 6 °C, designed to extract color and enrich the bouquet. After the skins are separated, vinification continues with the aim of preserving aromatic purity and precision. Maturation in steel is the technical choice to maintain the integrity of fruity aromas and the straightforward character of Pinot Grigio.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it displays a pale pink color typical of the ramato style. The nose reveals pear and pomegranate, with nuances recalling red fruits. On the palate, it is juicy and warm, supported by pleasant freshness; the finish features raspberry and small red berries, with a clean finish thanks to the maturation in steel.

Food pairings

A versatile wine at the table, it pairs naturally with fish, white meats, vegetable soups, delicate pasta dishes, and fresh cheeses. Its fruity weave and smoothness make it suitable for preparations that are not too spicy, where it can accompany without overpowering flavors.

When to serve it

Ideal when you’re seeking a fragrant and precise ramato, with fruity aromas highlighted by maturation in steel. It suits lunches and dinners where an all-around wine is desired, from fish to white meats to delicate first courses. Serve it when you want a juicy sip, supported by freshness and a clear aromatic definition.
