This must be the best expression of Pinot Grigio available anywhere in Italy. Given an extra dimension by this master craftsman from Gorizia.

Pierpaolo Pecorari regularly wins plaudits for his Pinot Grigio wines from the foremost Italian wine guide, Gambero Rosso. He is a winemaker who stubbornly refuses to conform and his efforts here show that the much-maligned Pinot Grigio is a grape variety which can produce great wines.

Coppery yellow; strong peppery breadcrust aroma; other fat aromas full of apricot.
