Current condition

Fresh with vibrant acidity and presence of youthful aromatics

Pinot Grigio from Foradori’s Fuoripista line is made in a natural style with some skin contact, lending earthy complexity on top of refreshing acidity. The 2022 vintage’s vibrant acidity allows for a limited short to medium term aging window. Peak occurs early after a brief cellaring period when fruit and complexity harmonize.

Food pairing

Pairs excellently with light seafood dishes, fresh garden salads, soft cheeses like ricotta or burrata, and dishes with herbal notes such as pesto or artichokes.
