The area is made up of steep hills, where the continental climate of the Alps collides with the more moderate mild Mediterranean climate from the Adriatic. Makovec vineyards are located in the small settlement called Brje, on steep, karst mountain tops, where the temperature is cooler and the soil contains mineral-rich marl, which makes it incredibly helpful in drainage of rainfall. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"sqsrte-small\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFarming: \u003c\/strong\u003ePracticing organic. The vineyards have no irrigation, and spraying is done only with sulfites and copper, if needed. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"sqsrte-small\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVinification: \u003c\/strong\u003eAll grapes are hand-picked, de-stemmed, and spontaneously fermented in stainless steel tanks and a portion in acacia barrels. The maceration period lasts for about a week. Aged in a combination of stainless steels and acacia wood barrels. Bottled unfiltered. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"sqsrte-small\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes: \u003c\/strong\u003eStrawberry and cherry fruit is supported by earthy and fine tannins and spices. Lees aging and no filtration add viscosity, complexity and a subtle creamy elegance to the wine. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"sqsrte-small\"\u003eThe wine is very versatile and can be enjoyed with a variety of dishes. We particularly recommend it with meat pasta dishes with tomato sauce, salty cured meats, lobster, ravioli, spicy tacos, lighter stews and bone soups, creamy pasta sauces, risotto, omelets, and grilled salmon. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mansus","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45664533905461,"sku":"MANSUSsivipinot21","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/domestiquewine.com\/products\/skin-contact-pinot-grigio-2021","provider":"Domestique Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
