The hill. A solitary, 50-metre-high ridge south of Margreid, which gives the Pinot Grigio its name and its character. The soil is unusual: grey, loamy sand with a high clay content – no porphyry, no limestone gravel, but rather a soft, nutrient-rich deposit that gives the Pinot Grigio a richness and freshness that poorer soils cannot provide. Margreid's Mediterranean climate – warm summers, mild winters, the afternoon Ora breeze from Lake Garda – ensures the grapes ripen evenly and develop their aromas. Hand-harvested, clarified must, three weeks' fermentation in stainless steel, five months on the fine lees.

A bright straw-yellow colour with golden highlights. On the nose, notes of pear, apple and white flowers, with a hint of citrus. Fresh and supple on the palate, with a pleasant fullness and a long, clean finish. Pinot Grigio just as it should be in South Tyrol. SUPERIORE.DE

"A very focused and intense pinot grigio with a nose of pepper, white peaches and a hint of stony minerality. Light-bodied, silky and crisp, yet very refined." James Suckling
