The Crushed Grape

Torre Pinot Grigio 2024

Regular price £12.99

A fresh and vibrant Italian Pinot Grigio with crisp citrus, delicate orchard fruit, and a clean mineral finish. Bright, refreshing, and effortlessly versatile.

From Trentino, a mountainous region in northeastern Italy that forms part of the larger Trentino-Alto Adige wine region. Trentino Pinot Grigio tends to be crisp, floral, and citrus-driven, with more brightness and precision compared to fuller styles from warmer areas like Veneto.

The palate shows notes of green apple, pear, and lemon zest, complemented by subtle hints of white blossom and gentle almond nuance. A light mineral thread runs through the wine, adding structure and focus. The finish is clean and refreshing, with lingering citrus and orchard fruit tones.

A go-to choice for casual sipping or pairing with seafood, salads, light pasta dishes, and fresh cheeses. Chill and enjoy its easy-going, versatile style any time of year. Dry, crisp, and fruit-forward.

Description

Torre Pinot Grigio is produced in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, a region in north-eastern Italy widely regarded as one of the country’s benchmarks for high-quality white wines. The cooling influences of the Alps combined with Adriatic breezes help maintain aromatic purity and lively acidity, creating ideal conditions for expressive yet balanced Pinot Grigio.

This wine is made from Pinot Grigio, a grape variety that flourishes in Friuli’s well-ventilated vineyards. In this environment, it develops refined aromatics, crisp structure, and clean fruit character. Friuli’s reputation for crafting Pinot Grigio with greater depth and precision than many mass-market examples is reflected in this fresh and focused style.

Produced under the Torre label, the winemaking approach prioritises fruit purity and clarity. Temperature-controlled fermentation preserves delicate aromatics, while brief lees contact enhances texture without compromising the wine’s natural freshness and lift.
