2024 Peter Zemmer Pinot Grigio Organic, Alto Adige

In the cool alpine foothills of Alto Adige, Peter Zemmer has quietly built a reputation for crafting pristine, terroir focused wines that reflect both mountain freshness and Italian finesse. The Zemmer family has been growing vines in the village of Cortina sulla Strada del Vino since the 1920s, combining generations of vineyard knowledge with modern organic farming practices. Here, steep slopes, dolomitic soils and dramatic day to night temperature swings allow Pinot Grigio to develop vibrant aromatics, fine structure and remarkable clarity of flavour.

A pale straw colour with silvery green highlights introduces a lifted and inviting bouquet. Notes of pear, green apple and white peach mingle with citrus blossom, alpine herbs and a delicate mineral edge reminiscent of wet stone. There is a sense of purity and cool air freshness that defines Alto Adige whites at their best.

On the palate the wine is crisp and flowing, delivering flavours of lemon zest, nectarine and subtle almond skin supported by lively acidity and a lightly textural mouthfeel. The finish is clean and persistent with a refreshing saline nuance that keeps the wine bright and food friendly. Best enjoyed over the next two to four years while its vibrant fruit and energy remain at their peak.

Perfect for light, flavourful dishes and sunlit aperitivo moments, it pairs beautifully with grilled river fish, seafood risotto, prosciutto and melon or fresh goat cheese salads. Peter Zemmer Pinot Grigio Organic captures the elegance and vitality of Alto Adige, offering a polished yet approachable white that suits long lunches, mountain views and relaxed gatherings with friends.
