Tasting notes
Aroma reminiscent of crisp acidity, featuring green apple and kabosu. Also a hint of sweetness of pear and apricot as well as toast. The palate is dry with a bright, clean acidity and a slight citrus-like bitterness from the grape skins. There is also a subtle hint of sake-like character. Best enjoyed well-chilled on a hot summer day or after sports.

Food pairing
White fish carpaccio, nuts, prosciutto and arugula salad, Comté, Parmigiano-Reggiano, chilled tofu with shirasu and shiso, grilled edamame with salt, smoked salmon and cream cheese appetizer.

Winemaking
Domaine tetta has entered its fourth vintage of producing varietal wine from Pinot Gris. The Pinot Gris 2022, imported in 2024, was characterized as a robust orange wine. However, for the 2023 vintage, they have taken on a new challenge by making a pétillant. While they have always recognized the excellent compatibility between Pinot Gris and tetta’s terroir, they opted for a pétillant to highlight the wine’s freshness, considering the relative youth of the vines.  Further details on the winemaking process will be added later. Please stay tuned.
