Lena Pinot Grigio comes to us from a single vineyard of four hectares in the village of Dolcè, right along the Adige river, where the Veneto meets Trentino.  The vineyard is highly calcareous, with 41% sand, 37% clay, and 28% silt. 15 years of laborious trial and error with Italy’s most successful single variety brings us this gorgeous white, with aromas of ripe white stone fruit, hay and spring blossoms.  The palate is savory, with tangy acidity.  Juicy nectarine accompany ripe pear, lemon curd, almond and apple before ending on a clean finish.

Lena is certified sustainable (no herbicides, no pesticides, no irrigation, limited use of copper and sulfur), certified vegan (no animal-derived products used in the cellar), certified carbon neutral (all electricity use at the winery comes from solar and wind power).
