Hails from the cool and mountainous north-east of Italy, the Südtirol-Alto Adige region. Offers a lot more than your average pinot grigio with a deep concentration of fruit, acid tension and fine minerality. The regional style helps define a linear and taut version of pinot grigio. Deep scents of yellow apple, honeysuckle, citrus, lemon curd, pear, fennel seed and mountain wild pepper. Layer upon layer of flavour, minerality, graceful bright acidity, deep spice, emerge across the palate. This is a wine of great length and presence, perfectly pitched for a serious food pairing. I’m thinking anything involving pork.
