Unterebner

This wine is not your typical Pinot Grigio. Made from hand-selected grapes from the Unterebnerhof vineyard in Alto Adige, part of the wine (80%) is refined in large oak casks and the remaining is aged in barriques. After seven-eight months of lees contact, the resulting wine is incredibly rich, refined and elegant.

Tasting Notes

Brilliant gold in color, this wine offers supple aromas of honeysuckle, apple blossom, white pepper and buttery vanilla. Smooth and richly textured on the palate with vibrant acidity and layered notes that evolve into a long satisfying finish.

Food Pairing

Pair this wine with weightier entrees such as roast turkey with stuffing and gravy or herb-roasted game hens.
