Due to differences in altitude and sun exposure, conditions vary greatly per vineyard, but generally, the grapes undergo a slow ripening process. Thanks in part to cool nights, they retain many of their aromas and a lively acidity. The white wines mostly come from high-altitude vineyards, and the red wines, depending on the grapes they are made from, come from the warmer valleys. On the nose, one finds typical Pinot Grigio characteristics such as pear, melon, blossom, and especially chamomile. The 8 months of aging in oak give the wine finesse and length.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCastel Firmian Pinot Grigio Riserva is made from 100% \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/pinot-grigio\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #B2002B\"\u003ePinot Grigio\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #B2002B\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003egrapes and has aged for approximately 8 months in oak barrels.

The soil here is alluvial and well-drained, very similar to the adjacent classic Teroldego soils. This particular location is used for the Riserva; the grapes are also hand-harvested and selected for the Riserva only in the best years.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Castel Firmian","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58944319652165,"sku":"28022","price":10.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1078\/1183\/2133\/files\/3f6fab07d9e6a1c9199fb44a590305141b18e624.jpg?v=1787299232","url":"https:\/\/vechtstreekwijnen.nl\/en\/products\/castel-firmian-riserva-pinot-grigio","provider":"Vechtstreek Wijnen","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
