Pinot Grigio Ramato: elegance, tradition, and character
Some wines tell a story. Pinot Grigio Ramato is one of them. More than just a variant of a well-known grape, it is a true cultural expression—deeply rooted in Friulian and Venetian tradition, and more relevant today than ever.
A rosé from another time
“Ramato” isn’t a trendy marketing term—it’s a word that accurately describes the coppery hue this wine takes on through skin contact during vinification. Pinot Grigio, after all, has a naturally pink-grey skin. When macerated briefly, it imparts subtle copper tones, aromatic complexity, and a structure that sets it apart from typical white wines.
In a way, it’s a natural rosé, born from old-school winemaking practices, when wine was made “as it came,” without immediate pressing or aggressive filtering. Today, this style is enjoying a revival—rediscovered by conscious producers and a curious, wine-savvy public.
Endless nuances, from sight to sip
Pinot Grigio Ramato shines with visual, aromatic, and gustatory nuances. In the glass, it ranges from blush pink to deep copper. On the nose, it offers delicate red fruits, citrus peel, dried flowers, gentle spices, and herbal hints. On the palate, it’s fresh yet full, with a subtle saline touch and a lingering, elegant finish.
🍽️ A wine for all seasons
The beauty of Pinot Grigio Ramato lies in its gastronomic versatility. Served well-chilled, it’s perfect for summer and pairs wonderfully with:
• Seafood or vegetable-based starters
• Flavourful first courses (risottos, pasta with vegetables, summer soups)
• Light mains such as fish, poultry, or white meat
Thanks to its structure, it’s also an excellent choice during cooler months.
📍 A regional gem to discover (or rediscover)
At Enoteca Hortis, we value wines that tell a story. Pinot Grigio Ramato tells many—of farmers, of land, of returning to one’s roots. Today, it’s a modern wine: perfect for rosé lovers seeking depth, for those craving elegance with authenticity, for anyone looking for a glass that quietly surprises.
