The vines for Pinot Grigio Punggl thrive on soils with a high clay content south of Margreid. Bright straw yellow with a brilliant core. Spicy fruity aromas with notes of nuts, honey and fresh flowers give it elegance and charm. Full-bodied and mineral on the palate with a juicy structure and long finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"Plenty of red-apple and lemon-zest character make this sleek, lively pinot grigio very refreshing. Clean, rather long finish." James Suckling

"Crushed limestone, dusty yellow flowers and Granny Smith apple form an inviting bouquet as the 2020 Pinot Grigio Punggl unfolds in the glass. This places minerality before fruit yet balances its salty core with elegant, silky textures and vibrant acidity. While tapering off with persistence, the Punggl leaves behind candied citrus and a resonance of liquid stone. There’s a lot of forgettable Pinot Grigio produced in Italy, this is surely not one of them." Vinous

"This excellent co-operative’s signature Pinot Grigio comes from one of the variety’s ‘grand cru’ vineyard areas, Punggl near the village of Magreid. Fermented and aged on its lees in large 30hl barrels, the wine is ripe, round and luscious with flavours of toasted nuts and ripe pear. Such a satisfying mouthful, a classic example of the Alto Adige style." Decanter
