Schiopetto has been producing Pinot Grigio since 1968 – long before it became Italy's best-selling mass-produced white wine (unfortunately in many other regions) – and the Rotolo family has never forgotten what it can really do: Depth, juiciness, mineral tension. On the Ponca hills of Capriva del Friuli, in marly soils of Eocene origin, the variety finds a soil that does not allow it to be arbitrary. Gentle pressing, short sulphur-free decanting, fermentation in steel at a controlled temperature – eight months on the lees. No wood, no detours, everything focussed on the Ponca.

Brilliant golden yellow in the glass. The nose: banana, passion fruit, a hint of beeswax and damp pebbles. Juicy and full-bodied on the palate, with the idiosyncratic freshness that has characterised Schiopetto wines for decades – precise, complex, long. Anything but any old Pinot Gris. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2024 Pinot Grigio wafts up with a bouquet of dried florals and crushed green apples, complicated by flint stones and a savory herbal thrust. It is lifted and refined with pretty white pit fruits infused with minerals and citrus. An air of inner florals amasses toward the close. Long, crisp and clean, the 2024 leaves the palate watering for more." Vinous

"A benchmark pinot grigio with striking purity and poise, offering notes of peach stone, raw almonds and citrus blossom, alongside a flinty character and a hint of lime pith, all supported by superb freshness and minerality. The elegant, medium- to full-bodied palate is both silky and weightless, yet displays remarkable length and laser-like focus. Among the finest of its kind, if not the best." James Suckling
