The 2013 Alto Adige Pinot Grigio Castel Ringberg is a delicious expression of Italy’s most popular workhorse grapes that puts the quality of its fruit and its territorial fingerprint on full display. Round and supple tones of white peach, pear, lemon curd and honeydew melon render a balanced and attractive bouquet. Fifteen percent of the wine is fermented in oak and you can just make out that added layer of exotic spice and butter (the wine also undergoes malolactic fermentation). It will probably age up to three or four years.
