Snow

On this day of political turmoil our Tollo village witnessed a quiet white wonder.

The first tasting of Pinot Grigio 2010

This year's Pinot Grigio is a special one for many reasons.
It was a very good year for the white grapes. Some people say the best in the past ten years.
It's our second harvest. So, enologically speaking, we did many things better than the first time.
And last but not least, we had three special guests from Estonia who participated in the harvesting and winemaking. So you should be able to feel a kind of Estonian touch in the wines.

Below photos from the first Pinot Grigio tasting in Tallinn, where our guests where able to taste the product they made:
