Quinto Quarto Sivi 2021

Quinto Quarto Sivi by Franco Terpin is a macerated Pinot Grigio wine, which gives it a unique, vibrant colour as the skin of the grape is pink!

Franco Terpin is a highly regarded natural winemaker from the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region of northeastern Italy, directly bordering Slovenia. Terpin's vineyards are located in the rugged hills surrounding the small town of San Floriano del Collio and cover approximately 12 hectares.

Terpin's vineyards are planted with multiple grape varieties, including Ribolla Gialla, Malvasia Istriana, Friulano, Pinot Grigio, and Merlot. The soils in the vineyards are primarily composed of marl and sandstone, which contribute to the unique flavor profiles of Terpin's wines. The vineyards are also influenced by the region's cool climate and proximity to the Adriatic Sea, which provides a moderating influence on the temperature and helps to maintain the acidity and freshness of the grapes.
