Pinot Blanc Toros 2021

Toros' Pinot Bianco was born in the easternmost part of our peninsula, in the Collio Fiulano, home of whites of character and refined quality. The winery was established at the beginning of the 20th century with Edoardo Toros, who bought a few plots of land in the heart of Collio Goriziano, exploiting its potential and beginning to export to Austria and Veneto. His son Franco took over the reins of the winery, transforming and improving the business, innovating production and working techniques in the vineyard. Today it is his daughters Eva, Cristina and Erika who will continue the family tradition, looking to the future with a mind full of new projects.

The Toros Pinot Bianco vineyards are located in Novali in the municipality of Cormòns; the microclimate is ideal for growing vines, thanks to the constant ventilation, the Julian Pre-Alps that protect the rows from the cold winds and the Adriatic Sea that mitigates the temperature range and makes winters mild and summers cool. The soil is the typical 'Ponca', consisting of marly stone and sandstone stratified over time and eroded to create a soil rich in nutrients and minerals. The grapes are harvested by hand at the beginning of September; in the cellar, soft lung pressing takes place; this is followed by a short ageing period in barriques before bottling.

The colour of Toros' Pinot Bianco is a straw yellow with intense and brilliant reflections; the bouquet is reminiscent of freshly baked bread crust, ripe yellow-fleshed fruit such as pear and pineapple and spicy notes of vanilla. In the mouth it is structured, elegant and enveloping with a perfect final persistence that entices glass after glass. In pairing it is recommended with seasonal vegetable dishes, steamed and smoked fish; also interesting with roasted white songs. Perfect to be consumed by the sea at sunset, to enjoy a candlelit dinner and enjoy authentic and genuine flavours.
