ELENA WALCH ALTO ADIGE PINOT GRIGIO 2023

Elena Walch's 2023 Pinot Grigio from Alto Adige showcases the distinctive terroir of Northern Italy's mountainous wine region, where calcareous soils blended with clay, sand, and porphyry create wines of remarkable minerality and structure. Sustainably cultivated at elevations ranging from 250 to 600 meters on steep slopes, the carefully hand-harvested grapes benefit from the region's unique microclimate of warm days and cool nights—a hallmark of this exceptional vintage. The pale straw-colored wine presents enticing aromas of perfectly ripened pears, complemented by subtle notes of white pepper and sage. On the palate, this 13% ABV offering delivers a distinctive mineral-salty richness beautifully balanced by crisp acidity, creating a wine with impressive backbone and character. The five-generation family estate's commitment to sustainable viticulture and precise vinification shines through in every sip.
