2024 Villa Sandi Pinot Grigio, Veneto

Villa Sandi is one of Veneto's most celebrated family wineries, renowned for producing elegant wines that reflect the heritage and beauty of north eastern Italy. From its magnificent 17th century Palladian villa, the Moretti Polegato family has spent generations crafting wines that combine tradition with innovation. Their Pinot Grigio is a benchmark of the style, delivering freshness, finesse and exceptional drinkability vintage after vintage.

The 2024 growing season produced beautifully balanced fruit, with warm days and cool alpine breezes preserving vibrant aromatics and lively natural acidity. Sourced from carefully selected vineyards across the Veneto, the grapes are gently handled to retain their delicate fruit, crisp texture and subtle mineral character, creating a Pinot Grigio that is bright, expressive and unmistakably Italian.

The colour is a pale straw with shimmering green hues. Aromas of pear, nashi pear and white peach are lifted by lemon zest, spring flowers and a hint of fresh almond. The palate is crisp and finely balanced, with juicy orchard fruit, citrus and delicate minerality supported by refreshing acidity. The finish is clean, vibrant and lingering, making it an ideal wine for relaxed lunches and effortless entertaining.

Enjoy with grilled calamari, seafood pasta, chicken piccata, fresh prawns, zucchini and mint frittata or creamy burrata with basil and ripe tomatoes. Best enjoyed over the next two to three years while its bright fruit and freshness are at their peak.
