Cantina Valle Isarco Pinot Grigio 2025 gives this Burgundy-family grape a distinctly South Tyrolean expression. The wine combines a generous palate with freshness and precision, without the influence of oak. Its particularly distinctive feature is an elegant, subtle bitter-almond note alongside a well-balanced acidity.

Pinot Grigio from the Eisack Valley vineyards

The grapes are grown between 500 and 780 metres above sea level in the middle and lower Eisack Valley. The winery identifies gravelly, stony alluvial soils containing diorite and quartz phyllite. These vineyard conditions provide a setting in which Pinot Grigio develops substance and an expressive yet balanced character.

Gentle winemaking and fine-lees ageing in steel

After careful handling and gentle crushing, the must undergoes temperature-controlled fermentation. The wine then matures on its fine lees in stainless-steel tanks, with no malolactic fermentation. This approach helps preserve the grape’s identity and the wine’s natural sense of freshness, without adding flavours derived from oak barrels.

Tasting profile and food pairing

In the glass it displays a bright golden-yellow colour. The bouquet is refined, with a delicate touch of bitter almond. On the palate it is full-bodied, elegant and harmonious, with well-balanced acidity. It is a versatile match for starters, delicate pasta dishes, fish and mushroom recipes, and can also be enjoyed as an aperitif.

Presented in a 750 ml bottle, this 2025 Pinot Grigio is an appealing way to explore the fuller, poised style of white wine produced in South Tyrol’s Eisack Valley.
