If there's one thing that typifies Italian wines, it's Pinot Grigio. This grape is synonymous with the versatility of Italian wines. The location of the vineyard is crucial to the final character of Pinot Grigio. This variety comes from northeastern Friuli, making the wine more refreshing and vibrant than wines from elsewhere.
A Pinot Grigio wine from Friuli
This exquisite Pinot Grigio is created by none other than Cielo. This enormous winery has become the heirloom producer of wines from Northern Italy, particularly those from Veneto. Founded over a century ago as a small-scale collaboration between local farmers, it is now one of the largest wine cooperatives in continental Europe. They have mastered all aspects of Veneto wines, making the transition to other wine regions a logical step. That's why they came to Friuli, where this impressive Pradio Praira Pinot Grigio Friuli now hails from.
Friuli is a little less familiar to the average wine drinker, but it's definitely worth a visit. Thanks to its unique location, rich terroir, and exceptional climate, Friuli wines have that little something extra. That "je ne sais quoi" that makes them truly distinctive. This Pradio Praira Pinot Grigio Friuli also possesses this quality, making it not only truly special but also incredibly delicious.
