Bortoluzzi Pinot Grigio IGT 2023

Giovanni Bortoluzzi's first career as a consultant winemaker and bottler in Friuli gave him inside knowledge of the region, leading him to the gravelly, mineral-enriched deposit of the diverted Isonzo River that would become Bortoluzzi's first vineyard. The Pinot Grigio that grows there exudes lush floral fruit and is both mellow and fresh at the same time with notes of spring flowers and considerable weight and style at a great price point.
