Il Carpino Vini Macerati 'Vis Uvae' Pinot Grigio 2017

15 days on skins (less than the other varieties they make, as it comes off the vine as a red grape) with an amber/tawny colour. Very red fruited, pomegranate, wild strawberries, red plums and rich notes of toffee and marzipan that create a juicy palate but with pared back though defined fruits. It's powerful and there is also a step up in tannin/phenolic here with an oilier and more mouthcoating texture than the other wines, giving an overall tart but savoury impression.
