“Gris” Pinot Grigio Friuli Isonzo Doc 2020

Lis Neris was born and grew, year after year, through the work and care of several generations. The winery was born and grew in San Lorenzo where the southern slopes of the Collio intertwine with the glacial plateaus of the Isonzo Valley. In the 1980s they began to consolidate a new production mentality with the goal of achieving superior quality, aiming to improve more and more the wines they produce and creating the conditions for this to happen. Work in the vineyards is carried out with full respect for nature, to leave it intact for future generations. They choose to abandon chemical weed killers, reduce phytosanitary treatments and keep the soils grassed. In the beginning there was the sea then the alpine glaciations carved out the Soča valley and the melt waters drew its current profile. This is how the land on which the vineyards of Az. Agricola Lis Neris grow was formed, a small plateau of deep gravels. More than 70 hectares of vines planted between the Slovenian border to the north and the right bank of the Soča River to the south; the surface pebbles, locally called claps, ensure drainage and, with the heat they capture, promote rich, full ripening of the grapes. Finally there is the Bora, from the northeast come prevailing winds capable of creating temperature excursions that favor aromatic concentration of the grapes and balancing of the acids. Perfect terroir for creating powerful, elegant, complex and unique wines. Great credit for these wonderful results goes to Alvaro Pecorari, owner and soul of this fascinating Isonzo winery.
