The Schiopetto 2018 Collio Pinot Grigio opens to a medium rich and fragrant bouquet with citrus, preserved lemon, saffron and dried rose. Compared to many of its commercial peers, this wine shows elaborate aromatic layering. And instead of the standard citrus and dried grass, this expression offers honey-like tones and general smoothness. You could pair it with grilled shrimp in a light curry sauce. An ample 24,000 bottles were rolled out.

Very light and luminous, the 2017 Collio Pinot Grigio is one of those glossy wines with a deep inner shine. It offers good texture, with a little bit of sweetness, and just the right amount of smoke and flint on the palate. It's a good Pinot Grigio, aged only in stainless steel, to pair with grilled fish. Some 22,000 bottles were made.
