St Michael Eppan Pinot Grigio 2025

''This generous Pinot Grigio is brimming with aromas of green apples, white peaches, white pepper and minerals. Tight-knit structure on the palate, with subtle silkiness, super-savory flavors and a medium body. Long finish.'' 93 Points, James Suckling

For those unfamiliar with the style of Trentino-Alto Adige wines, the much travelled wine writer Tom Hyland of Forbes Magazine has put together a very accurate portrayal of the fine nuances on show.

''Thanks to its cool northerly location and climate; combined with cold mountain winds, produces wines of expressive aromatics, lively acidity and notable structure. All of this means highly complex wines, that while lovely upon release, are capable of aging and improving for several years in the bottle.'' Tom Hyland, Forbes.com

As for my take on today's featured Pinot Grigio, I really like the rich fruit aromas of pear, apple, citrus; with floral and distinct mineral nuances. It is medium-bodied with crisp acidity, good structure and leaves a long smooth finish. When it comes to Northern Italian Pinot Grigio you can't go past St Michael Eppan in terms of consistent brilliance.
