96pts & #1 Top 100 Value Wines 2025 James Suckling

A benchmark pinot grigio with striking purity and poise, offering notes of peach stone, raw almonds and citrus blossom, alongside a flinty character and a hint of lime pith, all supported by superb freshness and minerality. The elegant, medium- to full-bodied palate is both silky and weightless, yet displays remarkable length and laser-like focus. Among the finest of its kind, if not the best. Drink or hold.

Tasting Notes

The aroma is fresh and inviting, with notes of banana and passion fruit. On the palate, as terroir, with an intriguing freshness that gives drinkability and complexity. Very persistent and consistent taste to the nose.

Wine Notes

The wine obtained from Pinot Grigio grapes, a vine of French origin grown on hills, in medium marly soils. It produces small bunches with round red-grey berries and, like Pinot Blanc, derives from the bud mutation of Pinot Noir. The harvest is accompanied by soft pressing followed by a short period of decantation in the total absence of sulfur dioxide. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks with addition of pied de cuve at a controlled temperature, while aging takes place on the lees for 8 months.
