Mezzacorona Pinot Grigio 2024

The grapes for this fresh and bright Italian Pinot Grigio are harvested from vines grown on the Trentino Alto Adige region’s traditional pergola system, something we don’t really see here. This is from the Delle Venezia DOC to be specific. It was granted DOC status in 2017, thanks to the quality of its Pinot Grigio. This is great buying for anyone looking to try Pinot Grigio from its spiritual home. The colour is a straw/pale grey. Quite a pungent nose, with pears, crisp green apples, riverstones and a minerally backing. There is good concentration here, with hints of bitter almonds emerging at the finish. Seamless in structure, with good intensity, there is quite a pleasing and slightly creamy texture and good length. Top value, this will drink well over the next couple of years.
