The Nals Margreid Hill Pinot Grigio appears a pale straw yellow with beautiful depth of color in the glass. The nose shows clean notes of dried apricot, pink grapefruit and thyme with a distinct mineral-rich undertone. The palate is close-knit and well-orchestrated, with well-defined supporting acidity and a mineral encore.

Pair with whipped salt cod or sardines in saor.

The HILL Pinot Grigio vineyards stretch out across a 50-metre-tall hill to the south of Magrè. The terrain is a stratification of grey clay sand with a high clay content

The Mediterranean climate is characterised by hot summers and mild winters, as well as the Ora, a warm afternoon wind that comes from Lake Garda to the south.

The grapes are harvested by hand. Afterwards, the clarified must is fermented for around three weeks in stainless steel tanks. Before being bottled, the young wine is aged on the lees for a further five months.

This shows bright aromas of licorice root, pear juice and salt-and-pepper minerality. Soft attack with tingling freshness, weight and silkiness, balanced by a medium body and a savory aftertaste. Simple yet precise.

This Pinot Grigio greets you with a solid, concentrated nose, offering aromas of ripe pear and citrus zest. The palate is rounded and leesy, adding richness and depth to the fruit flavors like an guitar amp going to 11. The wine's underlying structure suggests there's more to discover, making it an intriguing and a wine to watch. -J.P.
