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. — 22 days 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. — 2 months ago

Conuvio Pinot Grigio 2024
Valdadige DOC, Veneto–Trentino Alto Adige, Italy 🇮🇹

Overview
Made from 100% Pinot Grigio, this wine hails from the Valdadige DOC (Adige Valley), a cooler Alpine-influenced corridor straddling Trentino-Alto Adige and Veneto. Recognized as a benchmark area for Pinot Grigio, Valdadige delivers freshness, minerality, and elegance far beyond mass-market examples. The name Conuvio means “coming together” or “union,” symbolizing the blending of these mountain terroirs into one distinctive wine.

Aromas & Flavors
Bright and zesty with pear, green apple, citrus zest, and white flowers, layered over a subtle wet-stone minerality. A touch of almond skin lingers on the finish, giving complexity to its clean fruit core.

Mouthfeel
Light-bodied, crisp, and lively, with brisk acidity and a refreshing finish. Vibrant and uncomplicated, yet elegant enough to stand out.

Winemaking Notes
Fermented in stainless steel to preserve freshness and purity, bottled young to lock in vibrancy.

Food Pairing
Pairs naturally with grilled seafood, caprese salad, shrimp scampi, and light antipasti. Also a perfect aperitif.

Verdict
A classic Valdadige Pinot Grigio—fresh, mineral, and versatile. What makes it special is its balance of Alpine freshness and food-friendly character, elevating it above everyday Pinot Grigio. A daily sipper with a story and soul. 🍋 cheers! — 9 months ago
