Cesconi Pinot Grigio 2024
£20.95
The wine
Deep straw yellow, opening on intense pear, white peach and zesty citrus. Round on the palate.
Cesconi treat Pinot Grigio seriously, with more skin contact and more weight than the international style allows, which is closer to how the variety was handled in the north-east before the pale version took over. Cesconi farm at Pressano in Trentino, organically and biodynamically, in a mountain valley where the whites come out more intense and structured than the Italian norm.
The producer
Cesconi
View all Cesconi winesIn the hills of Trentino, north of Trento, the Cesconi family tends its vines with rare care and conviction. Theirs is an artisan estate, farmed organically and by hand, where every wine is made to express its grape and its cool mountain home. It is small-scale winemaking at its most committed, run by brothers who do almost everything themselves.
From a serious, textured Pinot Grigio that puts most examples to shame to the rare native Nosiola, the range is all about purity, freshness and quiet detail. Nothing is rushed, and nothing is over-worked or over-oaked.
Precise, mineral and gently distinguished, these are among the finest whites of the Italian Alps. They have a devoted following among sommeliers precisely for that honesty and clarity.
Serve them well chilled, as an aperitif or with lighter dishes, and taste the clarity and cool air of Trentino.
