Description
What type of wine it is
The Pinot Grigio from Le Vigne di Zamò is a dry and elegant still white wine with the Friuli Pinot Grigio Denominazione di Origine Controllata (DOC) designation. Made from Pinot Grigio grapes vinified in stainless steel and oak barrels, it offers a fragrant nose of tropical fruit and floral notes. On the palate, it provides a vibrant freshness and a marked mineral character that support a smooth, full, and well-balanced sip. The vibrant acidity leads to a clean and persistent finish, with a pleasant savoury aftertaste that ideally accompanies lean fish and soft cheeses.
Where it comes from
This wine originates in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, an area renowned for the excellence of its whites. Between the municipalities of Manzano and Rosazzo, Le Vigne di Zamò cultivates its vineyards strictly following the principles of organic farming. The deep connection with its hills of origin translates into a linear style, characterised by a well-defined savoury tension that delivers a clear and authentic territorial identity to the glass.
How it is produced
After destemming, the grapes follow two distinct paths. One part undergoes cold maceration and ferments at a controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks. The other macerates on the skins for four days and completes fermentation in oak barrels, where it also undergoes malolactic fermentation. The components age separately for six months with weekly bâtonnage to provide greater structure. Finally, they are combined into a harmonious and dry final blend.
History and interesting facts
Founded in 1978 between Manzano and Rosazzo, the Le Vigne di Zamò winery produces this refined Friuli Pinot Grigio DOC following the principles of organic farming. Under the guidance of oenologist Nicola Piccoli, the wine is created through a unique vinification process: one part of the grapes ferments in stainless steel to preserve its freshness, while the other macerates on the skins, completing the process in oak barrels. Both batches are aged for six months with weekly bâtonnage before blending, offering an elegant and structured sip on the palate.

The company is fortunate to draw from three different terroirs that give the wines different and unique characters and personalities. The Zamò family has been cultivating the land for centuries: first the grandfather, then the father and finally the sons, all united under the same goal: cultivating the land and making wine as a sign of civilisation and respect for their origins and traditions,
In addition to great white wines, including Friulano and Ribolla Gialla, the company focuses on red wines to maintain the indigenous grape varieties and to pursue new projects and innovations. For years, the Zamò family has been conducting cultivation with sustainability-conscious methods, and in 2021 they obtained the first Certified Organic grape harvest. Read more
