2023 Alois Lageder Pinot Grigio, Alto Adige

Alois Lageder Pinot Grigio from Alto Adige is anything but ordinary. Grown in the cool alpine foothills of northern Italy, this wine showcases the clarity and precision that’s become the Lageder hallmark. The estate, a pioneer in biodynamic viticulture, has long championed sustainability, diversity and harmony with nature, which shines through in the purity of their wines.

This Pinot Grigio offers a clean and elegant profile. Aromas of white peach, lemon zest, green pear and alpine herbs float above a crisp, mineral-driven palate. There’s a touch of wet stone and fresh-cut fennel that adds dimension, and the finish is vibrant, mouth-watering and clean.

Lageder’s meticulous vineyard work, combined with a gentle hand in the cellar, gives this wine a sense of place and finesse that elevates it well above the standard Pinot Grigio crowd. It’s an ideal match for grilled prawns, asparagus risotto, or a simple salad of fennel, orange and shaved parmesan.
