Schiopetto's offerings are brilliant. Readers seeking remarkably flavorful, non-oaked white wines that are naked expressions of their varietal characteristics should check out this property's efforts in top vintages. I was blown away by this white, which was fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks.
The crisp, elegant 1998 Pinot Grigio (from modest yields of 3.4 tons per acre) offers terrific fruit (dried orange and apricot notes dominate), medium body, with wonderful rich flavors crammed into a tight texture. The wine's purity and laser-like precision are hallmarks of Schiopetto's winemaking style. Drink it over the next 1-2 years.
