About This Wine


Castello Specchio

Pinot Grigio

Our Castello Specchio Pinot Grigio showcases the exceptional terroir of Italy's Friuli DOC. Crisp acidity, sweet floral aromas and refreshing fruit flavors will fill your senses as each sip transports you to northern Italy. This region's unique climate is thanks to its location, nestled between the Carnic Alps and the Julian Alps, stretching to the Adriatic Sea. This special placement creates an ideal environment for cultivating Pinot Grigio grapes. Its mild Mediterranean climate sees an abundance of warm, sunny days tempered by cool alpine breezes. The grapes enjoy a leisurely ripening process, developing their vibrant, fruity character and retaining naturally crisp acidity. Our Pinot Grigio is a versatile wine that pairs beautifully with virtually any meal, as long as it is served al fresco! To fully appreciate its charm, serve it well-chilled on a colorful sunny patio, embracing the essence of Italian summer with every glass.

Wine Region


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.
