Tramin Pinot Grigio

Pinot Grigio Alto Adige DOC bottle image

Wine Description

This is a richly styled Pinot Grigio produced from low-yielding vineyards in the Alto Adige DOC. The vineyards, located at the foothills of the Dolomite mountains, enjoy warm days and cool nights which preserve the wine’s acidity and freshness to produce a well-balanced wine.

Acclaim
“This light-bodied white is backed by lively acidity and offers a stony underpinning and hints of apricot, slivered almond and grated ginger.”
— Wine Spectator, Dec 2016
“From the northernmost part of Italy comes a Pinot Grigio that swiftly reminds us why the northern Italians make the best versions of this wine in the world. Aromas of smoky flint, honey and almonds, the palate is richer than you’d expect. Marked by flavors of white peach, apricot and honey. There is a richness and body, as well as complexity to this Pinot Grigio that goes beyond the simplicity we often find in this variety. It will stand up to whatever is on offer for the first courses, and the big bird itself.”
— Clive Pursehouse, Nov 2016
