๐St Michael Eppan Pinot Grigio 2023 Dry White Wine is a dry white wine from Alto Adige in northern Italy. Ripe pear and apple give it an inviting fruit profile, while freshness and a soft, elegant palate make it an easy choice for an aperitif or a relaxed meal. This Classic range wine comes in a 750ml bottle with 13.5% alcohol.
๐๏ธ Grapes are grown in Appiano and Caldaro, at elevations of 400โ500 metres, on calcareous, pebbly soils. The vineyards face southeast and southwest. These details place the wine firmly in South Tyrol, where Pinot Grigio has become an important part of the local wine culture. It offers an appealing introduction to the region for anyone who enjoys a refined Italian white.
๐ The 2023 grapes were harvested and selected by hand from mid to late September. Fermentation, including partial malolactic fermentation, takes place in stainless steel tanks. This approach keeps the wineโs fruit character clear while supporting the rounded impression on the palate. Its straw yellow colour has green reflections, and the finish is pleasantly lingering.
๐ฅ Serve St Michael Eppan Pinot Grigio 2023 Dry White Wine at 8โ10ยฐC. It is particularly suited to the start of a meal, a gathering with friends or a light lunch. The producer recommends a pairing with baked curd pralines on tomato carpaccio. For a simple table idea, use that combination as inspiration and choose fresh tomato starters with a delicate cheese element.
๐ฐ๏ธ The producer gives a storage potential of three to four years. Keep the bottle in a cool, dark place with a stable temperature and enjoy its balance of fruit, freshness and gentle texture. The 2023 vintage received 90 points from James Suckling in the producerโs 2024 ratings announcement. Contains sulphites.
