This is not strictly a rosé, but 'Ramato' because of its pale copper tinge which comes entirely naturally from the skins of the grapes, although not specified on the label as legislation does not allow. What also sets this remarkable wine apart every vintage is the wonderful texture of fruit that the Visintinis attain in their Pinot Grigio. Beautifully balanced with a mineral acidity making it a really lovely wine and not just another run-of-the-mill Pinot Grigio. Rating: 89-92 L&S (Jan 2017)

The colour here is all from the skins of the Pinot Grigio grapes, hence the name "Ramato". In taste, however, it makes more sense to think of it as a very superior white PG, since it has a delicious quality of fresh pear and quince, a subtle spiced pastry quality, lovely weight and flowing acidity – all of which also makes for a perfect early spring wine no matter the colour.

Azienda Agricola Visintini
Founded in 1973 by Andrea Visintini, this twenty-four hectare estate has vineyards in Collio, Collio Orientali and Grave del Friuli, and is now controlled by the new generation of Oliviero and his twin sisters Cinzia and Palmira. The wines are beautifully made, each with wonderful expression of both the grape and the 'terroir'. Vineyard practices are now entirely biodynamic, and certified this year. These wines are also extraordinarily good value in what is generally a highly priced region.
With the 2014 vintage the family have unveiled the brilliant new labels for each of the wines - with the beautiful botanical drawings of flavours or fruits that relate to the flavour profiles in each different varietal. The wines are great too - in a far from straightforward vintage - beautiful fruit definition and lovely bright minerality.
