## About this wine

Villa Borghetti Grigio Luna Pinot Grigio Rosé is produced by Pasqua Vigneti e Cantine, a historical family-owned winery established in Verona in 1925. Although Pinot Grigio is widely recognized as a white wine grape, its berries naturally possess dusky copper-pink skins. Under the Villa Borghetti estate brand, Pasqua highlights classical Veneto winemaking within the Delle Venezie DOC classification. The name Grigio Luna, meaning Grey Moon, pays homage to the subtle, moonlight-like radiance of the wine in the glass.

## Interesting facts

- Produced by Pasqua Vigneti e Cantine, a classic family-owned Veronese winery founded in 1925.

## Food pairing

The crisp acidity and delicate red fruit profile of this light-bodied rosé complement delicate proteins, fresh goat cheeses, and bright citrus dressings, whereas heavy fat or extreme spice would overpower its refreshing balance.

## Wine making process

Grapes are sourced from morainic hill vineyards featuring calcareous and clay soils across Veneto. Winemaking involves brief cold maceration on the skins for up to 12 hours, allowing the natural pigments of the Pinot Grigio skins to gently tint the juice. Fermentation takes place at controlled cold temperatures in stainless steel tanks, followed by three months of aging in stainless steel before bottling to retain crisp acidity and vibrant fruit aromas without oak influence.
