White Wine from Italy - NE Italy (Trentino, Veneto)

4 Reviews

From grapes grown in vineyards at over 1,800 feet up in the foothills of the Dolomites, this pinot grigio benefits from sunny days, but cool nights, which has brightened the aromatics of this delicate, dry, crisp, peach and white-blossom-scented wine from northern Italy.

Mezzacorona

Mezzacorona is an exceptionally well-run and well-equipped co-operative of some 1500 growers, with 2,600 hectares of Trentino vines, 70% of which are DOCG.

Based at the foot of the Italian Dolomites, which tower protectively over the vineyards, the vines run on trellises as far as Lake Garda, and the many surrounding lakes and rivers provide fresh, cleansing breezes. The variety of climates means that Mezzacorona can choose optimum sites for the many different grape varieties they grow.

These are used to produce a range of characterful, single-varietal wines – as well as pinot grigio, and international varieties like chardonnay and merlot, they also make exemplary teroldego and marzemino. They also use their excellent facilities to bottle wine from Feudo Arancio in south-west Sicily.

Italian [pinot grigio has] become very popular in the restaurant and pub trade and sadly there are some very uninspiring examples around. But don’t think they are all the same because there are some excellent wines at still reasonable prices, often from the north regions of Italy. [This] is one such wine. Produced from vineyards on the slopes of the foothills of the magnificent Dolomite mountains in the far north of Italy, this is a delicate, fresh and aromatic wine with stone fruit flavours and floral aromas. £6.95 ... which is exceptional value for such a good Pinot Grigio.
