The Ciabot Pinot Grigio Essenza 2024 is a fresh, dry white wine for moments when you want to serve something light and refined, without it being bland or anonymous. It is precisely the Fia family's choice to venture outside their native Piedmont to the province of Pavia in Lombardy for this bottling that gives this wine its unique place within their range. This origin is stated on the label as Provincia di Pavia. What is Provincia di Pavia? This is an IGP in Lombardy, officially recognized since 1995, where Pinot Grigio, among other grapes, is permitted within the appellation.
Vineyards and region
For this wine, the origin is less about prestige and more about finding the right region for a fresh, approachable style.
- Location / Origin: The grapes for this Pinot Grigio come from the province of Pavia in Lombardy, not from Ciabot's own Piedmont. This immediately makes this wine a conscious foray into another North Italian wine region for the winery.
- Regional Context: Provincia di Pavia is located in Lombardy and forms an official IGP for white, red, and rosé wines. This appellation also includes varietal wines based on Pinot Grigio.
- Landscape: Pavia and its province range from fertile plains to rolling hills rising towards the Apennines. This gives the region a broader wine context than just the well-known big names of Northern Italy.
Vinification and aging
Little technical cellar information is publicly available for this wine, so its style must primarily be inferred from the wine itself and basic data.
- Alcohol percentage: At 12% alcohol, this Pinot Grigio remains light and digestible, perfectly suited for a fresh aperitif style and seafood dishes.
Grape composition
Here, everything revolves around one grape that has been beloved in Northern Italy for years due to its direct, dry, and fresh character.
- Pinot Grigio – Provincia di Pavia: Pinot Grigio forms the base here and gives the wine its light body, citrusy freshness, and clean, dry finish.
Tasting notes and serving suggestions
Light yellow in color, with a pleasant and rather subtle aroma. On the palate, it comes across as fresh and elegant, with notes of citrus, a hint of apricot, and a gentle spiciness in a dry style. The finish remains clean and refined, making this a delightful glass for an aperitif or light dishes.
- Serving temperature: 8–12 °C is well suited here, as this range beautifully brings out the freshness and light citrus fruit without making the wine too austere.
- Dishes: Shellfish, light fish dishes, and an aperitif moment without food are the best pairings, as the wine remains dry, fresh, and refined.
More information about Ciabot
Ciabot is the Fia family's winery in Farigliano, dating back to 1895. The name refers in Piedmont to a small shed in the middle of the vineyard, a down-to-earth and regional image that suits the house's style well. From this family background, Ciabot built a broad portfolio, with vineyard work and bottlings that originate from the wine culture of Piedmont but also leave room for wines from neighboring regions when logical for the style.
