The Pinot Grigio 'Sivi Pinot' from Dolfo winery is a white wine that embodies the pure expression of the terroir of the Eastern Slovenia wine region. With its elegant light straw hue and greenish reflections, this wine offers a visual aspect that anticipates freshness and gustatory vivacity.

Sourced from carefully tended vineyards, Dolfo's 'Sivi Pinot' is made with meticulously selected Pinot Grigio grapes. The winemaking process follows traditional methods that respect the nature and quality of the grapes, preserving aromatic freshness and fruit integrity. After a gentle fermentation, the wine is briefly matured in steel barrels, thus enhancing the varietal characteristics without excessive wood influence.

On the nose, the Pinot Grigio 'Sivi Pinot' reveals a captivating bouquet of floral aromas, with delicate notes of wildflowers and subtle hints of white pulp fruit such as pear and green apple. Mineral nuances also emerge, adding complexity and depth to the olfactory profile.

On the palate, the attack is fresh and direct, with well-balanced acidity that brings liveliness and a long aromatic persistence. The flavors echo the nose, with a fresh presence of white fruit and a light minerality that cleanses the palate, inviting another sip.

Ideal as an aperitif, 'Sivi Pinot' also pairs beautifully with light starters, fish and seafood dishes, and is an excellent companion for vegetarian dishes and fresh salads. This wine not only quenches thirst but also offers a refined and enticing taste experience.

Winery history
The winery bears the family nickname "Dolfo," and the estate's history is linked to the Skočaj family. The modern approach to production was established at the end of the 20th century, when wines labeled DOLFO first appeared on the market; the official page notes the appearance of DOLFO‑labelled bottles in 1989. Over the years the estate has expanded its vineyards and winemaking facilities in the Brda/Ceglo area.
Production philosophy
It favors manual vineyard care and cultivation practices that emphasize territorial quality; at the same time production is described as conventional, using natural organic fertilizers and paying careful attention to soil management and exposure.
Terroir and vineyards
It is located in Ceglo, in the Goriška Brda area, with vineyards that extend partly into Slovenia and partly into Italy. The local soils are characterized by the so-called "opoka", a calcareous/clayey sedimentary formation that contributes to the wines' sapidity; the vineyards are planted on terraces with sunny exposures and elevations in the area ranging from approximately 80 to 200 meters.
Awards and recognitions
