Civranetta DOC Venezia Pinot Grigio 2024

Wine Description for Civranetta DOC Venezia Pinot Grigio 2024 by Fidora

Character

The Civranetta represents that uncomplicated elegance for which Venetian Pinot Grigios are prized. Fidora interprets the variety with crystalline freshness and mineral precision, far removed from opulent fruitiness. At 12.5% alcohol, the wine remains light-footed and eminently drinkable – a white wine equally suited to everyday occasions and festive gatherings, without surrendering its Venetian identity.

Terroir & Origin

The DOC Venezia extends across the alluvial soils between the Alps and the Adriatic, where maritime influences and alpine freshness converge. This climatic intersection shapes the character: proximity to the lagoon brings saline notes and tension, whilst soils of calcareous loam and alluvium provide structure. The Veneto is Pinot Grigio country par excellence – here wines of slender elegance rather than opulent fullness are born, defined by the Venetian wine culture that has prioritised drinkability and approachability for centuries.

Grape Variety & Vinification

Pinot Grigio – or Grauburgunder – reveals its Mediterranean face in the Veneto: less full-bodied than in Alto Adige, yet blessed with vibrant acidity and citrus-fresh aromatics. Fidora likely employs temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel to preserve primary fruit and crisp freshness. The early vintage 2024 promises youthful vitality – a wine meant to be drunk, not cellared. The vinification follows Venetian tradition: pure, straightforward, honest.

Food Pairing Suggestions

This Pinot Grigio is tailor-made for the Venetian cicchetti culture: seafood, fried sardines, Sarde in Saor or Baccalà Mantecato on toasted bread. It equally shines with risotto with courgettes, grilled fish or Pasta alle Vongole. The saline freshness harmonises beautifully with goat’s cheese, buffalo mozzarella or a simple Insalata Caprese. A perfect aperitivo wine for balmy summer evenings.
