The 2010 Pinot Grigio is a very pretty entry-level white graced with excellent definition and varietal character. It shows lovely polish while capturing plenty of the brightness that is the hallmark of Pinot Grigio from Alto Adige. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2015. It's hard to go wrong with any of these wines from Tramin, one of the best and most consistent wineries in Italy. A Leonardo Lo Cascio Selection, Winebow, Montvale, NJ; tel. (201) 445-0620

The 2009 Pinot Grigio comes across as rather lean, focused and energetic. This isn’t an easygoing Pinot Grigio, but rather a wine built on a core of serious minerality. Crushed rocks, lime and mint linger on the precise, crystalline finish. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2012. This is a terrific set of entry-level wines from Tramin. The whites see only steel and do not undergo malolactic fermentation. A Leonardo Lo Cascio Selection, Winebow, Montvale, NJ; tel. (201) 445-0620

The 2008 Pinot Grigio is an unusually round, soft wine, with beautiful aromatics, gorgeous depth in its fruit, laser-like clarity and a long, inviting finish. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2011. This is a wonderful set of new releases from Tramin, one of Alto Adige’s oldest and most successful cooperatives. The level of quality here is truly stunning. Simply put, I can’t recommend these wines highly enough. A Leonardo Lo Cascio Selection, Winebow, Montvale, NJ; tel. (201) 445-0620
