This Pinot Grigio from Friuli is a refined expression of the region’s cool, alpine-influenced terroir. Its bouquet is an elegant blend of fresh florals and ripe fruits, featuring pear, banana, apricot, and delicate flowers. On the palate, the wine is vibrant and balanced, with flavors of pear syrup and quince peel supported by refreshing acidity, a full body, and a long, satisfying finish. As it matures, it develops complex notes of toasted almonds and straw.
Perfectly versatile, this wine pairs beautifully with white meats such as chicken and guinea fowl, classic seafood dishes, sushi, and delicate shellfish. It also complements cheeses, with cow’s varieties like Brie and Gruyere enhancing its sweetness, while sheep’s cheeses such as Manchego highlight its mineral tones. Light pasta dishes and fresh vegetable medleys are also excellent companions. Avoid high-acid foods to let the wine’s nuanced character shine.
Fermented in stainless steel tanks and matured on fine lees with bâtonnage, this wine retains its freshness and complexity. With a production of 250,000 bottles and roots dating back to its first vintage in 1986, it is best enjoyed at 12°C and within five years of release.
