Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio 2022 (75cl, 12.5%)

A dry Italian white wine from Trentino-Alto Adige, bottled at 12.5% ABV in a 750ml bottle. Founded in 1935 by Count Gaetano Marzotto, the winery vinified Pinot Grigio without skin contact from 1961, fermenting at cold temperatures in stainless steel to produce a pale white rather than the copper style. The grapes come from high-altitude vineyards with cool temperatures and significant diurnal shifts. The nose is clean and fragrant, with golden apple, white peach, subtle floral notes, citrus blossom and a faint mineral quality. The palate is dry and refreshing, with Bartlett pear, lemon zest, a gentle almond-like undertone and balanced acidity. The finish is medium in length, with a mineral-driven close and lingering citrus pith and green apple.
