2025 Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio, Alto Adige

Santa Margherita has been one of Italy's most influential wine producers since its establishment in 1935, helping transform Pinot Grigio into an internationally celebrated variety. The winery pioneered the modern dry, crisp style of Pinot Grigio in the early 1960s, setting a benchmark for freshness, elegance and easy drinking appeal.

Alto Adige, in Italy's mountainous north, is particularly well suited to Pinot Grigio. Cool Alpine influences, sunny days and significant temperature differences between day and night encourage fragrant fruit and lively acidity. The 2025 captures the variety's bright, refreshing personality, making it a lovely choice for relaxed entertaining and warmer weather.

Pale straw yellow with delicate green reflections. Crisp green apple, ripe pear and lemon zest mingle with white flowers and a subtle hint of fresh almond. The palate is light and beautifully refreshing, with juicy orchard fruit, lively citrus acidity and a delicate mineral character. A gentle touch of white peach carries through a clean, dry finish.

Perfect with grilled prawns and a fresh tomato salsa, Vietnamese rice noodle salad with herbs and lime, or crispy zucchini and basil fritters. Its bright acidity also makes it a terrific partner for spaghetti alle vongole with garlic and parsley.

Cellaring: Drink now to 2028. Best enjoyed while its delicate aromatics and refreshing fruit are at their brightest.
