2022 Ronco dei Tassi Pinot Grigio, Friuli-Venezia Giulia

Made from three clones of 30 year old vines grown on marly and arenaceous soil. Straw yellow with classic pink reflections, the bouquet is floral, fruity and delicate, showing distinct finesse and elegance for a much maligned variety. 

Ronco dei Tassi Pinot Grigio from Friuli-Venezia Giulia is proof that not all Pinot Grigios are created equal—especially when you’ve got winemakers as dedicated (and fun) as the team at Ronco dei Tassi. This family-owned estate has been perfecting their craft for generations, and they’ve got the passion (and possibly a secret stash of magic soil) to prove it. Nestled in the heart of Collio, their vineyards benefit from the region’s sun-soaked days, cool breezes, and mineral-rich soils, all of which make their Pinot Grigio more than just another “crisp white”—it’s a whole experience.

On the nose, this wine isn’t shy. It throws out aromas of pear, apple, and a spritz of citrus, with a cheeky hint of white flowers. It’s the kind of bouquet that whispers, "Hey, put down your phone and pick up your glass!" On the palate, it’s like a zippy high-five of green apple, peach, and lemon, with a refreshing acidity that makes you wonder if someone slipped a summer breeze in there. There’s also that classic Friuli minerality, making it feel like you’ve just taken a stroll through the vineyard—without the bug bites.

This Pinot Grigio is perfect for all your summer adventures: picnics, beach days, or backyard barbecues (and it’s especially good for that last-minute “Oh no, the guests are coming” dinner). Pair it with seafood, fresh salads, or, honestly, just enjoy it solo on a sunny afternoon.
