“P” Pinot Grigio 2022
Veneto

Vineyard
The vineyards are located between 100-300 meters above sea level in the hills of the Alpone valley, in the commune of Monteforte d’Alpone in eastern Soave. The fruit for this wine is grown in selected old vineyards with excellent south-east exposure, where growers have reduced their yields considerably to produce excellent quality fruit. The soil is made of marl and limestone so the vines are put under stress and produce superior quality fruit. The vines are 20-30 years old on average and are trained using both the traditional Pergola Veronese and Guyot systems.
Winemaking
The grapes were hand harvested and gently pressed in a pneumatic press, before being immediately cooled to preserve the fresh fruit aromas. Fermentation took place in 1200-hectolitre stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 18°C, avoiding any skin contact. The wine was then aged in 1200-hectolitre stainless steel tanks before bottling.
Vintage
2022 was a dry and warm vintage overall. The grapes were healthy, with no disease pressure or issues across the vintage. Given this, harvest saw great quality grapes.
Tasting Note
This wine has aromas of ripe peach and pear with hints of flint. On the palate, it is rich and well-balanced, with a refreshing finish.

The fruit for this wine is grown in selected old vineyards with excellent south-east exposure, where growers have reduced their yields quite considerably to produce excellent quality fruit. With fresh acidity, the palate is ripe and concentrated, full of apple and pear flavors.
Prosecco
Prosecco
Crafted in the traditional Charmat method, Alpha Zeta’s Prosecco takes advantage of some notably cool sites to produce and exceedingly fresh style of wine. Notes of pear and white flower permeate the wine, with a notably fine mousse and refreshing finish.
“C” Chardonnay
Veneto
Cool breezes blow down the Valpantena Valley from the foothills of the Dolomites, which moderate the climate, enabling the grapes to ripen slowly. This helps the grapes to retain their aromatic compounds and acidity. Bright straw yellow in the glass, this wine is aromatic and concentrated with a thread of minerality.
