Tramin Pinot Grigio

Pinot Grigio Alto Adige DOC bottle image

Wine Description

Made from 100% Pinot Grigio from southern Alto Adige. After a gentle pressing, the must is clarified by natural sedimentation and fermented. Refined five months in stainless steel tanks, this is a very typical Italian-styled Pinot Grigio.

Acclaim
The 2006 Pinot Grigio offers honeyed, almost tropical fruit with attractive sweetness, excellent length and lovely overall balance.
— Wine Advocate, Oct 2007
Aromas of lemon and mango, with just a hint of mineral. Medium- to full-bodied, with good fruit, fresh acidity and a medium finish.
