Albino Armani – “Colle Ara” Pinot Grigio, 2023
Terra dei Forti DOC – Valdadige – Italy 🇮🇹

Overview
A skin-contact Pinot Grigio from Valdadige, crafted with short maceration to extract color, texture, and phenolic grip. The 2023 vintage brings a fresh, lifted profile, balancing structure with vibrancy, far from the neutral, conventional style.

Aromas & Flavors
Layered and expressive: dried orchard fruit, orange peel, subtle spice, and tea-like notes. Savory nuances with a light herbal edge.

Mouthfeel
Textural and structured with gentle phenolic grip (almost tannin-like). Dry, with notable sapidity and salinity, supported by 2023’s bright acidity. Clean, persistent finish without astringency.

Food Pairings
Ideal with Asian fusion, noodles, grilled seafood, and umami-driven dishes. Also excellent with roasted vegetables or lightly spiced cuisine.

Verdict
A smart, expressive Pinot Grigio that bridges classic Italian precision and orange wine philosophy. The 2023 vintage adds extra lift, making it both intriguing and highly drinkable. A perfect “surprise bottle.”

🍷 Did You Know?
Pinot Grigio has naturally pink/grey skins, which—when macerated, create that copper hue and subtle structure most modern styles avoid. — 2 months ago

First time with this grape. It initially tastes a bit brawny with dark fruits, but then has a really nice herbal component that ends with smooth tannins. Great with our dinner. — 4 years ago

NV. We were trying to watch a few Oscar nominated movies today, and my daughter wanted a French 75. We liked this drier Prosecco on its own and in our cocktails. I went with an Italian 75 since I had an open Limoncello in the fridge. — 3 months ago

Nice smooth Sauv Blanc from New Zealand. I like it because it hardly has any minerality. @Delectable Wine this is the Sauvignon Blanc thank you! — 5 years ago

Your experts need to look again here. I never look for Pinot Grigio but after being given this bottle, and finishing it over two tastings, it is worth searching for because it is an 8.9-means you will get more than your money’s worth here.
Dry, perfect with fish, light citrus flavor, minimal lemon bouquet, lovingly on the palate. Find it, enjoy it, don’t put it down. But take it with you as a gift. — 2 years ago
