2022 Castelfeder Alto Adige - Südtirol 15, Italy, Alto Adige, Wine Review

An excellent Pinot Grigio from Northern Italy. Light golden in color with a light touch of copper, clear and bright. The nose is clean with nice minerality, crushed rocks, slight lime, a bit of almonds and steely finish. Medium bodied. Juicy texture. Crisp acidity. 13.5% abv. On the palate, this is tasty with Granny Smith apples, lots of stony minerality and a long finish. This is great on its own and will work with some foods. This would go well with Pasta in a cream sauce but also, think Grilled Shrimp. Drink over the next two or three years.

Pinot Grigio: Italy's Trentino-Alto Adige Region Produces a Great Summer Sipping Wine

Summertime. For many of us that is the time for a cool white wine. Of course many of them are produced in Italy. One of the more commercially successful whites is the Pinot Grigio from Italy. Specifically, those produced in the north-eastern province of Trentino-Alto Adige. Surrounded the Alps and Dolomites, and bordering Austria and Switzerland, this is the northern most region in Italy. The area is mountainous with only about 15% of the land being farmable.

Green/gold in color (not the typical copper notes). The nose is nice with minerals and limes. Slightly oily texture. This is all about minerals on the palate. Slightly sour lime note. There is a bit of warmth but only 12.5% Alc. Very food friendly with all but the heartiest of foods. At $10, this is a great value. Drink now.

Served blind. Light golden in color with a touch of copper color making me think Pinot Grigio. The nose is nice with lots of minerality. Also dust, apples and some initial sulfur notes (which blew off). Slightly oily texture. Medium bodied. A fair mount of oak showing but it somehow works. On the palate, limes and apples. Good acidity. This is an excellent winery with good values. Drink over the next few years. This will work on its own or with a pasta with a cream sauce.

Do you like affordable, easy drinking white wines? Then look for this one. This is authentic and as good as wine costing twice the price. Will it blow your doors off? Probably not, but for $15, you will have no regrets. Food friendly or on its own. Light copper gold in color. The nose is great with minerals, mountain air (think cold and fresh) and a hint of lemon peel. On the palate, this is refreshing. Slightly more than lean texture. Made for drinking young. Lots of verve. Good finish.

Silvery gold in color, clear and bright. The nose has chalk and slight peach note. On the palate, this is oily which is good. Plenty of minerals with some bitters. Also a slight peach note. Good acidity. Long finish. This is a basic wine that provides great value. It should be drunk in the first year or so to enjoy it's freshness. It will go well with salads, seafood and lighter foods.
