About the producer

Tiefenbrunner is a family estate in the Alto Adige region, known for precise, mineral-driven whites that express the cool mountain climate where they farm.

About the year

2019 was a warm, dry vintage across northern Italy. Pinot Grigio from this year shows ripe fruit while keeping the acidity that makes the wine refreshing.

Grape characteristics

Pinot Grigio is a thin-skinned white grape that thrives in cool regions. In Trentino's mountain valleys, it develops bright citrus and stone fruit flavours with a natural snap of acidity.

About the region

Trentino sits in the foothills of the Dolomites, where cool nights and high altitude give white wines their characteristic freshness and precision. The region is Italy's heartland for crisp, food-friendly whites.

Tasting profile

Expect green apple, lemon zest and white peach, with a hint of herbs and almond. The wine is dry, clean and bright, with enough acidity to cut through rich food without heaviness.

Serving suggestions

Serve well chilled, around 8 to 10 degrees Celsius. Use a standard white wine glass. No decanting needed.

Also pairs well with

  • • grilled fish
  • • fresh pasta with herbs
  • • goat cheese salad
  • • shellfish risotto
