The estate’s 2009 Pinot Grigio is wonderfully elegant and rich in its ripe, juicy fruit. In the style of the year, the wine has unusual volume and richness for Pinot Grigio from Alto Adige, but without sacrificing varietal character. The finish is warm, radiant and inviting. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2013. Importer: Polaner Selections, Mt. Kisco, NY; tel. (914) 244-0404

Very pretty and very floral although the 13.5% alcohol does hit the palate in a rather determined manner. The result is marzipan and candied fruit aromas. Would pair well with sweet and sour pork. Imported by Polaner Selections. ——M.L.(6/1/2006)—— 87
