2025 Aquilani Pinot Grigio, Friuli

Friuli is widely regarded as Italy's spiritual home of Pinot Grigio, where cool alpine breezes, Adriatic influences and mineral rich soils produce wines of exceptional freshness and purity. Aquilani captures the essence of this celebrated region, crafting a Pinot Grigio that is bright, expressive and wonderfully food friendly, showcasing the variety at its vibrant best.

The 2025 vintage delivered beautifully balanced fruit, with warm sunny days and cool evenings preserving lively acidity while encouraging excellent flavour development. Gentle handling in the winery retained the wine's crisp aromatics and delicate texture, resulting in a refreshing expression of Friuli's renowned white wine heritage.

Pale straw with shimmering green highlights, the bouquet reveals aromas of pear, green apple and lemon zest complemented by white flowers, fresh herbs and a subtle mineral lift. The palate is crisp and finely textured, combining vibrant orchard fruits with bright citrus, refreshing acidity and a gentle saline edge. Clean, lively and effortlessly balanced, the finish lingers with hints of citrus and delicate almond.

Perfect with fresh seafood, calamari, grilled prawns, light pasta dishes, summer salads or creamy burrata. Equally suited as an aperitif or at the table, this is a classic Italian Pinot Grigio offering freshness, versatility and exceptional value.
