Albino Armani – “Colle Ara” Pinot Grigio, 2023
Terra dei Forti DOC – Valdadige – Italy 🇮🇹

Overview
A skin-contact Pinot Grigio from Valdadige, crafted with short maceration to extract color, texture, and phenolic grip. The 2023 vintage brings a fresh, lifted profile, balancing structure with vibrancy, far from the neutral, conventional style.

Aromas & Flavors
Layered and expressive: dried orchard fruit, orange peel, subtle spice, and tea-like notes. Savory nuances with a light herbal edge.

Mouthfeel
Textural and structured with gentle phenolic grip (almost tannin-like). Dry, with notable sapidity and salinity, supported by 2023’s bright acidity. Clean, persistent finish without astringency.

Food Pairings
Ideal with Asian fusion, noodles, grilled seafood, and umami-driven dishes. Also excellent with roasted vegetables or lightly spiced cuisine.

Verdict
A smart, expressive Pinot Grigio that bridges classic Italian precision and orange wine philosophy. The 2023 vintage adds extra lift, making it both intriguing and highly drinkable. A perfect “surprise bottle.”

🍷 Did You Know?
Pinot Grigio has naturally pink/grey skins, which—when macerated, create that copper hue and subtle structure most modern styles avoid. — 15 days ago

Delicious and joyful Lambrusco! Frothy, dried berries, ripe strawberries and some earthy undertones. Very easy to drink with just a light chill. Organic. — 6 months ago

Deliciously sweet, almost like a sparkling grape juice with a hint of alcohol. Paired well with a tart kiwi desert. — 2 years ago

K is a big fan. Tobacco, spice, a hint of cherry. Thicker body but consistently dry throughout. Solid dinner wine — 5 years ago

Clear, pale ruby in color. On the nose, it has medium intensity primary and secondary aromas of hibiscus, cloves, and raspberries. On the palate, it's dry with high acidity, medium tannins, medium alcohol, medium body, and medium intensity flavors of tart cherries, lavender, and dried herbs with a long finish. This wine is complex with balanced fruit, acidity, and tannins. Overall, I rate this wine as very good. — 8 months ago
