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.I can’t find a source for the Reserva, have to check with the distributor and get back to you. Yes, coz this is the best PG I’ve seen in quite a while – part of it was fermented in barrel, stored on lees with regular stirring, and the result is a PG for serious adults, with all the usual goodies (pears and lychees and ginger) on the sidelines.
92 pts - Ken Gargett (Wine Pilot)From the Trentino region in northeast Italy, Pinot Grigio has established a home for itself here. Castel Firmian is the top of the range label for the Mezzacorona operation. A touch of skin contact is used here, to enhance the complexity and texture. Under cork. A deep straw/gold here, the nose offers notes of lemon curd, stewed pears, ginger, florals and orange rind. In Pinot Grigio terms, this falls towards the end of the spectrum which exhibits creamy textures and more complex wines. There is a fine line of acidity, good length and an attractive hint of bitterness at the finish. Drink over the next three to four years.
