Colombella Garganega Pinot Grigio 2007
2007 gave some of the smallest grape harvests Italy has seen in 60 years … but it's excellent news! The grapes were even more concentrated than usual, allowing winemaker Maurizio Biscardo to craft a truly exceptional wine.
Maurizio has over 170 years of winemaking in his family and although virtually retired he says he "loves making wine for us". When he and Tony Laithwaite met up last summer they immediately saw eye-to-eye and started discussing ways to make Colombella better than ever before. Together they decided to add a touch of Garganega to the Pinot Grigio. The great grape of wines from Soave, Garganega gives added elegance and finesse. Tony and Maurizio are delighted with the result - and are sure you will be too!
"Delightful aromas of orange blossom, classic tongue-tingling citrus and apple flavours, and remarkable purity. A lovely aperitivo!"
