Andrea di Pec Pinot Grigio 2025
£11.95
The wine
A creamy Pinot Grigio bursting with delicate aromas of citrus fruit complemented by hints of hay, fresh nuts and toasted almond. Dry and beautifully balanced, with a hint of nuttiness and spice through to a refreshing finish.
Friuli is where the best Italian Pinot Grigio comes from, with more texture and grip than the Veneto plains produce. The region pioneered cool fermentation and reductive handling in the 1960s and 70s, techniques the rest of Italy subsequently adopted. The grape is a pink-skinned mutation of Pinot Noir.

Andrea di Pec
View all Andrea di Pec winesAndrea di Pec is a Friuli label working the region's most widely planted white grape.
Friuli Venezia Giulia, in the far north-east against the Slovenian border, is generally held to make Italy's finest white wines, and its history explains the range: the land passed between Venice, the Habsburgs, Italy and Yugoslavia, and its vineyards carry varieties from all of them. The region was also the laboratory for modern Italian white winemaking in the 1960s and 70s, when producers there pioneered cool fermentation and reductive handling that the rest of the country subsequently adopted.
