Kettmeir Pinot Grigio (75cl, 13.5%)

Kettmeir Pinot Grigio is a 100% Pinot Grigio white wine from Alto Adige, Italy, bottled at 13.5% ABV in a 750ml bottle. It is grown in high-altitude vineyards reaching up to 1,800 feet above sea level. Cantina Kettmeir is based in the Alto Adige-Südtirol zone of Trentino-Alto Adige. The vineyards sit in a microclimate shaped by a nearby lake, a predominantly flat valley floor and surrounding hills, with soils of glacial origin. Fermentation employs low-temperature skin contact. The nose shows bread dough, hawthorn, honeydew melon, ripe pear, citrus and floral nuances. The palate has Bartlett pear, yellow apple, cantaloupe-like melon sweetness and a savory tang. The finish is precise and moderately long, with a slightly nutty character, mineral-driven freshness and tropical fruit.
