Castello Specchio

2023 Friuli-Venezia Giulia Pinot Grigio

The Castello Specchio 2023 Pinot Grigio from the prestigious Friuli-Venezia Giulia region of Italy is a delightful white wine that embodies the charm of its terroir. With a light body that gracefully dances across the palate, this wine showcases a mild level of acidity that enhances its refreshing nature. The fruit intensity is moderate, offering enticing hints of citrus and green apple, which are beautifully complemented by subtle floral notes. This well-crafted Pinot Grigio is dry, making it an ideal companion for various food pairings, from light salads to grilled seafood dishes. With each sip, this wine projects a sense of elegance and approachability, allowing it to shine on any occasion.

Tasting notes:


Aromas of honeysuckle, lemon and fresh hay create a cheerful introduction to our Pinot Grigio. These notes carry through to the palate, joined by hints of white peach as bright acidity caresses each sip.

Friuli-Venezia Giulia
Friuli-Venezia Giulia

Friuli-Venezia Giulia is Italy's most northeastern wine region. Sandwiched between the foothills of the Dolomite Mountains and the Adriatic Sea and bordering both Austria and Slovenia, the region has an intriguing mix of climates and cultures. It gained fame during the 1960s when the application of new German winemaking techniques saw it become the first Italian region to release fresh, fruity white wines for the international palate. Today, it is still famous for deliciously full-bodied Pinot Grigio, bursting with juicy peach and tropical fruit flavors. But the wines are not all white. Red wine lovers will find plenty to admire in the region's Merlot, where juicy flavors of ripe red fruit complement oaky spice.
