PINOT GRIGIO

The Pinot Grigio Dolomiti IGT of Trentino Ambassador is an organic expression of one of the world's most internationally recognised Italian white wine varieties, here given the specific character of the Trentino mountain vineyards and the hand-harvested quality commitment that the estate applies to all four of its wines. Exclusively hand-harvested in September — a month earlier than the red varieties — the Pinot Grigio develops in the cool, well-ventilated mountain conditions of Trentino a freshness and a mineral precision that flat-land productions of the same variety rarely achieve.

The Dolomiti IGT designation acknowledges both the geographic specificity of the wine's mountain origin and the estate's broader Trentino identity — the ambassador character of an estate that presents the full range of what Trentino Alto Adige's remarkable viticultural diversity can produce within a four-wine portfolio of exclusively hand-harvested, certified organic wines.

Straw yellow with a fruity nose of mineral and intense notes: the characteristic colour and aromatic profile of quality Pinot Grigio from mountain vineyards where the variety's delicate aromas are preserved by the cool growing conditions and the careful hand harvesting that avoids the bruising and temperature damage of mechanical harvest. On the palate, dry, soft, rich in fruity and persistent sensations: the combination of dryness and richness that distinguishes well-made Pinot Grigio from the thin, characterless productions that dominate the category's lower price points.

An excellent aperitif, equally suited to baked pasta, tagliatelle with porcini mushrooms, white meat, or fish — the estate's specific pairing recommendations, which reflect the wine's genuine food versatility and the particular affinity between Trentino Pinot Grigio and the mountain cuisine of its region.
