The 2023 Schiopetto Pinot Grigio Collio is a dense and energetic white that stands apart from typical examples of the variety, recently recognized as a top value wine for its exceptional quality-to-price ratio. On the nose, it is luminous and inviting, offering a complex blend of sliced apples, spring flowers, and white peach, alongside tropical hints of banana and passion fruit. The palate is full-bodied yet agile, balancing a creamy, structured fruit core with an intriguing freshness and salty minerals that provide significant tension. It finishes long and consistent, marked by clean notes of lemon, fresh pear, and a lingering touch of flinty minerality.
