Pinot Grigio

Made from 100% Pinot Grigio, this wine radiates youthfulness and purity of fruit. This is achieved through stainless steel fermentation and the use of a cork-free closure.

All Products →

Wine Production

Temperature-controlled fermentation at 68 °F in steel tanks; four-month aging on the fine lees in concrete vats prior to bottling.

Tasting Notes

Straw yellow in color with lemon highlights, this Pinot Grigio is youthful and lively. On the nose, this wine has aromas of citrus, white flowers, pears, apples, and meadow grass. Up-front citrus flavors give way to stony minerality and a crisp finish.

Food Pairing

Wonderful as an apperativ as well as a wine that will pair well with butter-poached fish, scampi's, and pasta primavera.

“White spring blossom and citrus aromas waft out of the glass. On the palate, crisp acidity brightens creamy apple, pear and tangerine zest. It’s quite simply crisp and delicious.”

POINTS
“This 100% Pinot Grigio opens with aromas of lemon, green apple and white peach that carry over to the juicy palate along with an almond note. Bright acidity gives it a refreshing finish.”
Wine Enthusiast

POINTS
This zesty white is light-bodied and floral, balancing bright acidity with a stony underpinning and flavors of Honeycrisp apple and blood orange granita.

POINTS
“Melon and yellow plum fruit and accents of spring blossom and pink grapefruit zest are set in this light-bodied, snappy Pinot Grigio.”
Wine Spectator
“An unmistakable, and unpronounceable, German name for an Italian wine bred in the Dolomite Mountains of the north-east Italy tells you much of recent history. However, disregard the Austrian/Italian of many centuries and pay attention to the hugely appealing tropical fruit on the front palate followed by a rocky, herbal-tinged finish that tells you so much of the excellence of modern Italian, Alpine, Pinot Grigio”
Forbes
“A traditional delicate fresh and fruity full-bodied Pinot with pear and apple flavors leading to a crisp bouncy finish.”
Foster's Daily Democrat
“Not your ordinary Pinot Grigio! These grapes hail from vineyards planted in the foothills of the Dolomite Mountains in Trentino-Alto Adige. Vibrant and energetic bursting with candied ginger and Granny Smith apple, tinged with sweet spice, honeysuckle, and rounded out by exceptional acidity, marvelous minerality, and a spicy finish.”
