Not far from the Austrian and Slovenian borders, in northeastern Italy, we find the Alturis winery. This beautiful name comes from the elevated vineyards in the area, also known as Alturis. Because the estate is surrounded by Alturis vineyards, on which the beautiful "Alturis" vineyards are planted, the name was a natural fit. Owners Marco and Massimo Zorzettig come from a family that has been active in the wine industry for over three generations. This gives them invaluable knowledge of crafting the finest wines, and you can certainly taste it!
The Alturis Pinot Grigio is one of our favorites from this beautiful winery. This wine evokes the beautiful country of Italy in a bottle. The color of this Italian white wine is bright golden yellow with a slight green shimmer. The nose reveals classic aromas of exotic fruit, nuts, and a hint of roasted almonds at the finish. This bodes well for the palate. The flavor is intense and fresh, yet also very elegant. The refined notes of exotic fruit flow smoothly through the wine. The slightly nutty bite provides a pleasant and subtle contrast. The finish is full and long with a refreshing finish.
