2025 Venchiarezza Pinot Grigio

Pinot Grigio finds one of its purest expressions in Northeastern Italy, and Friuli’s Alpine–Adriatic microclimate brings out its full intensity. Venchiarezza crafts a Pinot Grigio that resists the simple and the neutral, opting instead for a style that is full, textural and genuinely terroir driven. Grapes are harvested fully ripe and gently pressed, with part of the must fermented in second-pass small wooden barrels for added depth. The wine rests on its full fermentation lees, contributing creaminess and complexity while preserving freshness. Expect a straw to golden hue, with aromas of ripe apricot, pear and subtle wood spice. The palate is rich yet balanced, carrying mineral tension and medium freshness in true Friulian style.
