Pinot Grigio Alto Adige Tramin 2023

Pinot Grigio Cantina Tramin, Alto Adige, Italy, 2023

Grape: 100% Pinot Grigio, calcareous clay/gravel soil, hand harvested, 80hl/ha yield, unoaked

Producer Tasting Note:

This Pinot Grigio brings the alpine freshness factor to the glass! Rich, full and dry with expressive notes of ripe pear and peach complemented by floral hints. Delicate on the palate with a zesty citrus character layered with notes of pear and peach through to a long, persistent finish.

Critic's Tasting Note:

"Some white nuts and white fruit on the nose, which is simple and slightly neutral but delightful. The palate shows a crisp medium body and a creamy, medium-length finish. This shows good varietal character and purity. Drink now."

91/100 points, James Suckling, August 2024
