Notes from the Winemaker:
VIS UVAE, from the Latin the Force of Grapes, to underline the force that the grape has, that is the Nature, to make a wine strong and complex, something that the hand of man alone determines it in a relative way. The effect of a week of persistence of the purplish-colored peels of Pinot Grigio in contact with the must, the so-called maceration, gives the must and then the wine those coppery notes that distinguish it from other wines. Originally these were the features that Pinot Grigio had, but then with the advent of new winemaking techniques, it was preferred to vinify it in white. Whether this was good or bad is not for us to judge, but certainly the result is different, both from an olfactory and a gustatory point of view.
