Cielo e Terra, ‘Casa Defra’, Pinot Grigio

Veneto | Italy

Fresh, bright and approachable; zesty and palate cleansing.

About the Producer

Cielo e Terra is a joint venture between two families, Cielo, who have been making wine for over a century in Veneto and Puglia, and the Cantina Social Colli Berici. Drawing on the Colli Berici’s vineyard resources, combined with the Cielo family’s winemaking skills, their partnership consistently produces wines which are fantastic value for money from both indigenous and international varieties. The soils are rich in limestone and of marine origin. The climate is subcontinental and temperate, with mild winters, rare late frosts and windy summers. Rainfall is scarce (800-1100 mm per year), and in dry summers, emergency irrigation is required.

Food Pairing

Excellent as an aperitif, appetizers, risotto and fish-based first courses. Suitable to accompany fresh cheeses and white meats.
