Description
Pinot Grigio, Elena Walch, Alto Adige, Italy, 2023
Grape: 100% Pinot Grigio, calcareous soil, steep slope vineyards at altitude 250-900 m.a.s.l., hand picked, matured on fine lees in steel vats, 1.9g/L residual sugar (dry)
Producer Tasting Note:
"Our Pinot Grigio captivates with light straw yellow and fruity notes of ripe pears, white pepper and a bit of sage in the nose. Mineral- salty richness and a crisp acidity are distinctive on the palate. A wine with backbone!" - Elena Walch
Critics' Tasting Notes:
"Opening with the fresh aromas of cut apple, pear, and a hint of green fig skin, this Pinot Grigio reveals a round and satisfying palate. A touch of cheesiness adds an intriguing layer of depth and umami, balancing the fruit with a savory edge. The finish is rounded, with notes of bitter almond and a subtle green undertone that perks up the senses."
90/100 points, Jeff Porter, WINE ENTHUSIAST, December 2024
"Elegant, with an appealing, creamy nappe to the texture as it carries notes of ripe pear, peach skin, blood orange peel, green almond and orchard blossoms. A tangy streak of salinity and lively acidity focus and refresh the finely woven flavors and nicely spicy finish." Drink now through 2029
91/100 points, WINE SPECTATOR, 2024
Voted Wine Spectator Top 100 #33
Serve as an aperitif, with pasta dishes, mild cheeses, grilled fish and cheese fondue.
