Zesty and absolutely refreshing, the 2016 Alto Adige Pinot Grigio (in a screw cap bottle) is the quintessential summer wine. It reveals pleasing aromas of lemon, stone fruit and Mediterranean herb. Those fresh citrus flavors are front and center. The mouthfeel is compact and polished, with balanced acidity on the close. Pair this pretty wine with dishes that incorporate a fragrant herb such as lemongrass or basil. Drink it within the next 18 months.

The 2013 Alto Adige Pinot Grigio proves to be a simple and straightforward expression that is best distinguished by the crisp acidity on the close. Citrus, dried straw, pear and white peach all make a passing appearance. The wine is suitable for informal drinking occasions or appetizers.
