2020 Castel Firmian Riserva Pinot Grigio

6 bottles

In stock.

Having spread itself around the globe, there are some locations where Pinot Grigio seems to be more at home, or better understood, than elsewhere. The Trentino DOC at the foot of the Italian Alps is definitely on that short list. The Riserva wines from Mezzacorona are produced using only the best fruit from good vintages. The grapes for this Pinot Grigio were grown in select vineyards around the village of Zambana. These are pressed immediately, with brief cool maceration after soft pressing. Fermentation separated into stainless steel tanks and small oak barrels. This is a wonderful Pinot Grigio, and a great example of the variety as the most well regarded white grape in this part of Italy.

Color: The wine has a light yellow colour.

Nose: A complex wine with fruity notes.

Palate: Aromas reminiscent of ripe white peaches and pear, notes of mature chamomile and other herbs. The flavours are harmonious with the aromas and the palate is long and full-bodied. A faint touch of vanilla is present but as a spice rather than a dominant trait

Pairings: A wine you could drink with aperitifs, but also with shellfish, vegetarian meals or mushrooms.

Vegan Friendly.

92 pts - Kim Brebach (BWU20)

From the Dolomites at the foothills of the Alps. This is a serious PG, not the usual lollywater. Crisp and crunchy. more green apples than ripe pears, some minerals and a strong line of acid. Might need more time.

90 pts - Ken Gargett (Wine Pilot)

The Trentino region in Italy, at the foot of the Italian Alps, is famous as ground zero for the Pinot Grigio grape and wines. The grapes used for this Reserve bottling hail from vineyards around Zambana. A soft pressing is used and fermentation in a mix of stainless steel and small oak barrels. Deep yellow colour. The nose offers pears and stonefruit, quite pleasing aromatics, with hints of lemon curd. With plenty of fresh acidity here, there is medium length and a tidy finish. Enjoy now and over the next year or two.
