Albino Armani Pinot Grigio Valdadige Terradeiforti DOC 2017

Pinot Grigio enjoys worldwide popularity, but many of the mass-produced examples lack the vibrancy and character this grape can truly deliver. The Albino Armani Pinot Grigio Valdadige Terradeiforti DOC 2017 is a testament to the heights Pinot Grigio can reach with dedicated winemaking and a unique terroir.

The Armani Legacy

Don't let the name fool you; Albino Armani the winemaker shares no connection with the fashion powerhouse. The Armani winemaking tradition predates Giorgio Armani's fashion empire by centuries. Established in the 1600s, Albino Armani draws upon over 400 years of winemaking heritage in Italy's northern regions.

The Magic of Valdadige Terradeiforti

The Valdadige Terradeiforti DOC sits within the larger Trentino-Alto Adige region of northern Italy. This valley, carved by the Adige river, benefits from a unique microclimate. Warm days, cool nights, and constant winds create the perfect conditions for cultivating Pinot Grigio grapes that burst with flavor and retain excellent acidity.

Tasting Notes

The 2017 Albino Armani Pinot Grigio Valdadige Terradeiforti DOC shimmers with a pale straw color hinting at the wine's freshness. Aromas of crisp pear, white flowers, and a touch of minerality rise from the glass. On the palate, this Pinot Grigio offers a delightful balance of vibrant fruit flavors – green apple, citrus zest – complemented by a subtle nuttiness and a backbone of refreshing acidity. The finish lingers with pleasant minerality.

Perfect Pairings

This exceptional Pinot Grigio's versatility makes it a phenomenal companion for a wide range of dishes. Enjoy it as an aperitif or pair it with:

  • Lighter seafood dishes such as grilled white fish or shrimp scampi

  • Fresh salads, especially those with citrus vinaigrettes or grilled vegetables

  • Creamy pasta dishes with delicate sauces

  • Soft cheeses like brie or fresh mozzarella

Elevating the Everyday

The Albino Armani Pinot Grigio Valdadige Terradeiforti DOC 2017 is the perfect choice for those looking to elevate their everyday wine experience. It offers a depth of flavor and complexity that sets it apart from the typical Pinot Grigio, transporting you to the picturesque Italian countryside with every sip.
