Cantina Merano, Pinot Grigio, Festival, DOC Alto Adige, Italy, 2022
100% Pinot Grigio - 13.5% abv.
Pinot Grigio should be appreciated more and here is the reason why. This wine is rich and full, with a mineral feel and slightly petrol finish. There is a warming melon flavour which grows with each sip and keeps you reaching for more. This wine is expressive and a true representation of the superior level of winemaking coming from the DOC Alto Adige region, renowned for its top-quality Pinot Grigios. Let’s drink in style.
The 2022 is a vivid yellowish-green colour, with aromas of green apple and banana. On the palate it is very well balanced and complex with refreshing fruit acidity. Nice length to the finish.

Situated in the alpine landscape of the Southern Tryol, the vineyards of Merano are cultivated just like small gardens. Surrounded by cypresses and cedar trees the extremely steep, mainly terraced vineyards receive much love and care. The wines have a lovely depth of minerality and concentrated fruit. Winemaker Stefan Kapfinger focuses on keeping crisp aromatics throughout his whites and a well balanced harmony of fruit and tannin in his full bodied reds.
There are few wineries that boast the spectacular setting of Cantine Merano - nestled amongst the dolomite Alps with high- altitude vineyards (300m-800), protected from the cold northern winds by a series of high peaks, the wide Adige valley basin centred on Merano is ideal for quality viticulture. The terroir, the mild climate, the porous residual soils with a high gravel content on the slopes and sandy material on the valley floor contribute to the beautifully fresh, fruity and crisp white and red wines.
Cold maceration for about 12 hours. Alcoholic fermentation in small stainless steel tanks. Storage on the fine yeast for 5 months.
