$96.00

Region & Producer

  • Region: Friuli Colli Orientali DOC, northeastern Italy, near the border with Slovenia – one of Italy’s finest white wine regions.

  • Producer: Terlato Family Vineyards, known for introducing high-quality Italian Pinot Grigio to the U.S. market.

Grape

  • 100% Pinot Grigio

Style & Tasting Notes

  • Color: Pale straw yellow with a hint of copper reflection (typical of Friuli Pinot Grigio).

  • Nose: Aromatic, with white peach, pear, lemon zest, and hints of wildflowers.

  • Palate: Medium-bodied, vibrant acidity, with flavors of ripe stone fruit, citrus, and a touch of minerality.

  • Often shows a richer, rounder texture compared to lighter Veneto Pinot Grigios, thanks to Friuli’s terroir.

  • Finish: Crisp, refreshing, with a lingering mineral note.

Winemaking

  • Stainless steel fermentation to preserve freshness.

  • A short time on lees to add body and complexity.

Food Pairings

  • Perfect with:

    • Seafood (grilled shrimp, calamari, branzino)

    • Light pasta dishes (primavera, seafood pasta)

    • Salads and fresh cheeses

    • Works beautifully with Asian cuisine and sushi due to its clean minerality.
