KRIS

KRIS wine is handcrafted in Alto Adige using grapes sourced from Italy’s most esteemed growing regions. An ideal combination of traditional winemaking artistry and modern technology is used to blend each of the KRIS wines. The timeless and inspiring KRIS labels emphasize the role of the sun in ripening the grapes to perfection, the human hand in crafting the wine, and the lips that savor the wine. Riccardo Schweizer, a native of Alto Adige, studied cubism in Paris under Pablo Picasso and Joan Miró. The original paintings were given by Schweizer to his friend, the KRIS winery’s founder, for his birthday. Pinot Grigio delle Venezie IGT The KRIS winemakers take full advantage of the “delle Venezie” designation by marrying the best fruit from the appellation’s three permitted regions to yield a Pinot Grigio with an unusually expressive flavor profile. Veneto fruit provides the delicate floral notes and the classic almond finish so typical of this region. Grapes sourced from the southwest-facing slopes of the village of Montagna in Alto Adige receive ample sun and contribute ripe, yet fresh citrus and pear fruit. The Mulinat estate in Friuli, where the soils are gravelly and well drained, produce low-yielding fruit that helps to intensify flavor. The final blend shows depth of flavor in a bold, Northern Italian style.

Sparkling Cuvée Brut A blend of Verdeca, with smaller components of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and 1% of Moscato creates an exquisite modern Italian expression of a fresh, crisp sparkling wine. With delicate hints of citrus and pear and subtle floral undertones, KRIS Sparkling Cuvée is an exceptional wine to enjoy as an aperitivo, pair with light dishes, or elevate every day moments.

Rosé Veneto IGT A northern Italian Rosé with predominately Corvina is the truest expression of summer in a glass. With delicate hints of peach, strawberries and summer fruits, KRIS Rosé is a mouthwatering wine to enjoy on its own, pair with patio dinners, or elevate every day moments.
