Shellfish are among the most delicate and prized seafoods: prawns, scampi, lobster, and crayfish offer sweet, juicy meat with subtle marine aromas. To match their elegance, a wine must be refined but expressive — and Ramato Pinot Grigio is increasingly the go-to choice.
What is Ramato Pinot Grigio?
The Ramato style involves a brief skin contact fermentation, giving the wine its coppery hue, nowadays call also Pinot Grigio Rosè in Veneto area. Pinot Grigio grapes naturally have a pink-gray skin, and this technique enhances aromatic complexity, body, and textural depth.
Ramato wines are fresh, savory, floral, and slightly spicy — a perfect match for the sweetness and texture of shellfish.
Our Picks: Ronco Blanchis & Vie di Romans
At Enoteca Hortis, two standout Ramato Pinot Grigios:
• Ronco Blanchis – Pinot Grigio Ramato DOC Collio
A fresh, mineral-driven wine with notes of citrus, dried flowers, and white peach. The crisp finish and slight bitterness beautifully balance dishes like grilled scampi or lobster tail.
• Vie di Romans – Pinot Grigio “Dessimis”
This iconic wine by Gianfranco Gallo has been awarded as the best Pinot Grigio in the world by leading wine critics. Complex and elegant, with aromas of pomegranate, orange peel, and floral tea, its silkiness and full body make it ideal even for richer seafood preparations like lobster stew or grilled langoustines.
