2024 San Pietro - Alto Adige DOC Pinot Grigio (750ml)
Sourced exclusively from seventeen hectares of gravelly, dolomite-limestone vineyards in Alto Adige’s Bassa Atesina zone, this 2024 San Pietro Pinot Grigio delivers the pronounced mineral-driven freshness that defines high-altitude Alpine viticulture.
The grower consortium manages plots spanning 220 to 900 meters above sea level, where sharp diurnal temperature fluctuations preserve natural acidity throughout ripening. Strict yield reductions guarantee concentrated aromatics without sacrificing structural balance. Post-harvest, the must ferments in temperature-regulated stainless steel tanks and completes a seven-month resting period before bottling, a streamlined protocol designed to protect delicate fruit esters and maintain varietal transparency.
Vivid straw yellow in the glass, the offering presents a tightly wound bouquet of ripe white peach underscored by crisp green apple and sweet pear. The palate tracks this architecture with a taut, linear build driven by racy acidity, culminating in an unusually clean and lingering finish.
Suggested to Serve With:
- Fresh seafood including oysters, steamed clams, and herb-crusted white fish
- Tender preparations like seasonal salads with citrus vinaigrette, mild cheeses, or grilled chicken
- A crisp antipasto arrangement or a chilled standalone aperitif
