Pinot Grigio/Pinot Gris

Region: Italy, Sambuca Di Sicilia (AG) Sicily
Grape variety: Pinot Grigio

Background: The grapes come from one solitary vineyard in the mountainous Molise. It's a thrilling landscape of high, empty spaces and little lost towns. Pinot Grigio is rarely grown here but winemakers Valentino, Flippo and Camillo thought the potential was huge. So they found their spot, grew the vines and proved their point!

Tasting notes: Bursting with stone fruits like peach and nectarine.
Dazzling with enticing fruit and fresh herb aromas, a scintillating mouthful of rich peach and grapefruit is evident on the palate. Lemon, lime and a mineral crispness also persist with a gentle spicy finish.

Region: Italy, Friuli-Venizia-Giulia
Grape variety: Pinot Grigio

Tasting notes: This straw-coloured wine has golden reflections. To the nose, it gives off pronounced floral scents that become fruity, recalling the flavour of apple and ripened pear. The palate will find this wine soft and engulfing as it wisely combines good body with pleasantly acidic nervature, which provides for fresh drinkability.
Pronounced florality that subsides for apple and pear fruity notes. Unlike many Pinots, this has a good amount of weight and concentration that works in tandem with a measured acidity.

VEGAN/VEGETARIAN/BIODYNAMIC

Region: Uruguay

Grape Variety: Pinot Grigio

Background: Bodega Garzón is close to Punta del Este, La Barra, and Jose Ignacio – Uruguayan Paradise at its best, with mesmerizing landscapes. Located eleven miles from the Atlantic Ocean, our estate has more than 1,000 small vineyard blocks covering its hillside slopes, which benefit from varying microclimates, different levels of humidity, and an intense canopy management. These factors allow the vines to develop with maximum exposure to the sun providing rich, expressive fruit. The vineyards are surrounded by lush forests, rocky soils, granite boulders, and naturally occurring palm trees.

Tasting Notes: Light straw gold in colour. The wine is decidedly complex and vibrant, with an appealing, fresh acidity. The bouquet is full of fruit and intense aromatics, reminiscent of white pulp fruit such as pear and apple. As you sip, the flavours unfold to reveal guava, quince, and even a faint almond taste.
