VINEYARDS
Sourced from premier Dal Bianco vineyards in Grave Fruili
in the region of Fruili-Venezia Guilia, Northern Italy.
 WINEMAKING
100% Pinot Grigio. Whole cluster Pressed, 100% Tank Fermented,
Aged Sur Lie for three months, no Malolactic Fermentation.
The grapes are harvested at different brix levels to maximize
the varietal character and to contribute the best flavor profiles
of the varietal from our vineyard sites.
WINEMAKER AND PHILOSOPHY
True to his California winemaking roots, winemaker Robert
Lawson is mastering the blend of the old and new world with
Pavi Pinot Grigio Italy. Veering in style from traditional
Italian Pinot Grigio Pavi Italy has more weight in the palate,
giving the wine a robust feel, while keeping the varietal
character, resulting in a perfect balance of acidity and citrus
flavors.
TASTING NOTES
Grown and produced in the lush region of Fruili-Venezie, Italy,
this Pinot Grigio is a perfect compliment to its California
cousin, Pavi Napa Valley. This medium bodies and fruity wine
is crushed and pressed to ferment cold in order to preserve
the delicate aromas of orange blossom, lemon, pear and pineapple
flavors. This wine is refreshing, balanced and very food-friendly
- a delicious accompaniment to fish, seasonal pasta dishes
and chicken or a lovely complement to a hot summer day!

Vin Santo unmistakebly has the flavor of historic Tuscany.
Its amber color, the aroma, density, structure and sweetness
of this Vin Santo creates a bouquet that is very intense,
consistent and complex.
TASTING NOTES
Reminiscent of rich dried fruits (apricot, plum and peaches),
almonds, caramel, vanilla and subtle spices. Its taste is
full-bodied, with a bright finish. Thoroughly unique. Van
Santo is a great sweet wine and is an excellent accompaniment
to fruit-based desserts.
