Notes | |||
"Straw yellow in color with green hints. Fruity and flowery on the nose with intensity and persistence. Notes of banana, citrus, acacia flowers and minerals. Dry, fresh and full-bodied on the palate. Quite intense and persistent with a very long and fruity finish." —winemaker |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"A stunningly aromatic and juicy pinot grigio with so much melon and white-nectarine fruit, but also tons of wet-stone character and invigorating acidity. Self-confidently breaks the mold for this category, particularly at the very racy finish, which just doesn’t want to stop! Drink or hold." —James Suckling "Packaged in a slender and tall bottle (with 12,000 bottles released), the 2021 Alto Adige Valle Isarco Pinot Grigio offers a tight and linear expression of this versatile grape with the high-altitude freshness and pinpoint definition that we can expect of the Valle Isarco, probably one of Italy's best-kept secrets for white wines. Wine making is split between stainless steel and tonneaux. This wine is icy and sharp with lemon, underripe pear and lovely mineral or salty notes on the close. This is not your everyday Pinot Grigio." —Wine Advocate |
