iLauri 'Tavo' Pinot Grigio delle Venezie 2022
The name “iLauri” stems from the ancient roots of the estates birth place, Loreto Aprutino, once covered in Laurus nobilis, or laurel trees.
“Tavo” is an Italian river that flows in Abruzzo. It originates on the Gran Sasso, and flows towards the Adriatic Sea. The river basin, home to Italy’s first DOP classified extra-virgin olive oil, numerous DOP agricultural products, and some of Italy’s most acclaimed wines, has always been recognized for its extraordinary terroir. According to Greek and Roman historians, 2.000 years ago, one of the greatest leaders in history, Hannibal, stopped with his army of 220,000 men to regenerate and enjoy the climate and the fruits of those lands.
The celebrated Pinot Grigio varietal has been known since the Middle Ages in the Brugundy region and derives from a bud mutation of Pinot Noir. In partnership with our winemaker we supervise an exquisite parcel in the Northeastern region of Veneto, home to Italy’s most popular white wine. The name stems from one of our area’s most important rivers, born at almost 2.000 meters at the foot of the Gran Sasso. Following fermentation in temperature controlled stainless steel the wine rests for 2 months before bottling. Its silk-like texture is smooth and extremely elegant with delicate tones of melon, orange blossom and mango.
