The 2025 Alois Lageder Cantina Riff Pinot Grigio delle Venezie is an organic Italian white sourced from selected vineyards in Veneto at the foothills of the Dolomites. The nose is fresh and delicate, showing pear, green apple and ripe tropical fruit with white flowers and subtle mineral notes. Limestone-rich soils and the Mediterranean-Alpine climate help shape its crisp character.
On the palate, it is dry and lively with bright acidity, fresh orchard fruit and citrus alongside a gentle mineral edge. At least four months on fine lees in stainless steel adds a little texture while preserving freshness, leading to a clean, precise and mouth-watering finish.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great choice for Pinot Grigio drinkers who enjoy crisp, dry Italian whites with fresh fruit and subtle mineral character. Best enjoyed young and chilled over the next 2–3 years. Pair with grilled prawns, seafood pasta, roast chicken, antipasto or fresh salads.
