Today the estate is led by siblings Lara and Mattia Scarbolo, who have taken the family's 30 hectares and pushed it toward something more ambitious: a serious, terroir-focused portfolio built almost entirely on indigenous and traditional varieties, with Pinot Grigio at its center. The name Il Ramato is itself a small act of wit — \"ramato\" means copper in Italian, describing the wine's distinctive hue, while \"amato\" means beloved. The Scarbolo family produces four different expressions of Pinot Grigio, a commitment to the variety that borders on obsessive, and the Ramato is their most distinctive.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000; font-family: American Typewriter; font-size: medium;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVineyard \u0026amp; Winemaking: \u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000; font-family: American Typewriter; font-size: medium;\"\u003eThe fruit comes exclusively from the Codis vineyard, planted in 2004 on those characteristic glacial soils — fine alluvial deposits and sandy gravel, tempered by eastern winds from Slovenia, sea breezes from the Adriatic, and the Alps blocking harsh northern cold. After hand-harvesting, the clusters undergo a brief 12-hour cold maceration — just long enough for the wine to pick up its signature copper color from Pinot Grigio's naturally pinkish-grey skins — before soft pressing. The juice settles naturally, then ferments in stainless steel at controlled temperature, followed by five months aging on noble lees with frequent bâtonnage to build texture and roundness. No oak, no fuss.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000; font-family: American Typewriter; font-size: medium;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/span\u003e: \u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000; font-family: American Typewriter; font-size: medium;\"\u003eThe 2023 pours a beautiful bright copper with warm salmon highlights — genuinely striking in the glass. The nose is fresh and inviting: strawberry, citrus, and a delicate floral lift. On the palate it's refreshing and generous, with a creamy, lees-driven texture underpinning the crisp fruit, and a lasting finish that stays clean and bright. This is Pinot Grigio as Friuli always intended it — not the thin, neutral stuff that gives the grape a bad name, but something with personality, color, and a story to tell.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sommbox","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50990006010089,"sku":null,"price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0602\/3515\/3641\/files\/IMG_1396.jpg?v=1778516564","url":"https:\/\/www.thesommbox.com\/products\/scarbolo-il-ramato-pinot-grigio-2023","provider":"Sommbox","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
