Ruffino Lumina Pinot Grigio comes from the growing regions best suited for high quality Italian Pinot Grigio Veneto, Friuli-Venezia Giulia and Trentino. We carefully select the best fruit from high-altitude vineyards that rise dramatically out of flat plains. The name Lumina, ‘illumination of the moon’ in Italian, brings attention to the importance of moonlight during a grapevine’s life. The label’s quarter-moon represents the ancient alchemist’s symbol for this satellite of the earth.VINEYARDS From grapes grown in the most sought-after winegrowing regions of Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia.AGING Carefully selected grapes were harvested at the end of August through the first half of September. The grapes were destemmed, crushed, and lightly pressed. Fermentation took place at 60F in stainless steel, temperature controlled tanks for approximately 10 days. – Ruffino
