Tenuta Pacher Hof
Pinot Grigio, Alto Adige, Valle Isarco, 2021
justerini & brooks tasting note
A genuinely characterful example of the variety, with soft stone fruits, citrus and herbs lifted by a touch of smoke and flinty reduction, some pithy apples and a racy, crisp beam of acidity. A really lovely Pinot Grigio that exemplifies the unique profile of whites in this region. Raised in large cask for six months.

92/100Monica Larner,Robert Parker Wine Advocate
The Pacher Hof 2021 Alto Adige Valle Isarco Pinot Grigio presents a firm personality that opens slowly in the glass to move past a reductive stage. With a little time in the glass, the wine reveals quince, lychee fruit, underripe apple and green papaya. This is a beautiful effort with streamlined elegance and long flavors. It ages in large oak casks for six months, and 12,000 bottles were released.
