The Blacksmith

2011 Delle Venezie Pinot Grigio

Sferracavallo The Blacksmith is a delightful expression of Pinot Grigio hailing from the esteemed Delle Venezie region. This vintage showcases a beautifully pale golden hue, inviting intrigue with its bright, enticing appearance. The wine presents a medium body, striking a balance that feels just right, accentuated by a lively, pronounced acidity that makes it refreshing on the palate. With fruit intensity leaning towards the prominent side, expect delightful notes of pear, green apple, and a hint of citrus zest to dance across the senses. It boasts a bone-dry profile, allowing for a clean finish that lingers softly but surely, making it an elegant companion to a variety of dishes or a perfect sip on its own. The well-integrated tannins remain subtle, providing just enough structure to enhance the overall drinking experience without overshadowing the wine's delicate character. This wonderfully crafted Pinot Grigio truly encapsulates the essence of its region while offering a delightful tasting journey.

Delle Venezie

Part of the larger Tre Venezie IGT area, delle Venezie offers high quality and more regional character through tighter production rules. The region covers the Veneto, Friuli-Venezia Giulia and Trentino areas—a large swathe of northeastern Italy lying between the Alps and the Adriatic Sea. Fresh mountain breezes and cool sea air help temper the sunshine here and maintain fresh acidity in the wines, while day-night temperature variation brings aromatic intensity. As well as Pinot Grigio (which accounts for seven out of every ten bottles made), Pinot Noir does well too. Also look out for sparkling Pinot Grigio Spumante and Frizzante.
