2024 Attems Pinot Grigio, Italy, Friuli, Wine Review

This white wine is 100% Pinot Grigio from Northeast Italy. Light golden in color, clear and bright. The nose is nice with pears, minerality and just a touch of white floral notes. Medium bodied. Good acidity. On the palate, this is refreshing and tasty. Plenty of pear fruit and minerality. Good finish. This is nice on its own and even better with food. It went very nicely with a chilled pasta dish. Drink over the next couple of years.

The name Romato is the term the Friulians used to describe the color which comes from the purple skins of the grapes that get very short contact with the juice before pressing. This is a very pale copper/pink colored wine. Clear and bright. The nose has pink grapefruits with some minerality and a bit of dried hay. Light bodied. Crisp acidity. On the palate, this is quite tasty. Pink grapefruit with a very slight grassy note and some minerality. Crisp finish. This is lovely on its own and will work well with vegetables or even pork or chicken dishes. Drink over the next year or two

This is 100% Pinot Grigio from northern Italy. Light golden in color, clear and bright. The nose is mineral driven but also some lemon and slight green tart apple. Light to medium bodied. Slightly "oily" texture. Good energy. On the palate, flavors of crisp green apples with underlying minerality. Long finish. This drinks easily on its own but works even better with food. This would go well with a full charcuterie board including soft cheeses and prosciutto. Drink over the next few years.

Light golden in color, clear and bright. The nose is more mineral driven. Some chalk with a touch of pears. Overall, nice if on the lighter side. Light bodied. Good balance. More interesting on the palate. The chalk comes thru but also a "non-sweet Pineapple" note that is tasty. Good finish. This drinks easily on its own but will need lighter foods or it risks being over powered. It would be nice with a light summer salad. Drink over the next few years.

This is a nice, well priced, Pinot Grigio from northeast Italy. Silvery/green/gold in color, clear and bright. The nose has limes, seltzer and a floral (white?) note. There is also an underlying minerality. On the palate, this is crisp. The limes carry thru as does the underlying minerality. Easy drinking on its own. This will work with lighter foods such as salads or sushi. Drink over the next year or two.

It can be hard to find a time to open these kinds of "orange" wines. I love them but they are not for everyone. This is a white blend of grapes that is fermented, on the skins in amphorae and then finished in barrels. It has Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio and Riesling. These kind of wines are best served at cellar temperature. Golden brown in color. The nose is oxidized but also has some apple cider, slight citrus and even a floral note. If oxidized wines bother you, stay away. I found the nose vibrant. On the palate, this is also vibrant and full of energy. Apple cider
