The Tolloy Pinot Grigio represents a rich history dating back to the 18th century, when Johann Tolloy welcomed his guests with locally produced wines at his popular inn along the Adige River in Alto Adige/South Tyrol. This region, known for its breathtaking landscapes and fertile soils, offers ideal conditions for growing the Pinot Grigio grape. Tolloy wine is not only a product of its environment but also of a deep-rooted tradition of craftsmanship and communal enjoyment. In the same historic building where Johann once welcomed his guests, Tolloy wines are now produced with the same emphasis on quality and conviviality. The Tolloy Pinot Grigio, with its bright, straw-yellow color, reflects the purity and vibrancy of the region and invites sharing, just as Johann intended centuries ago.
Captivating Aromas and Flavors
The aromas of Tolloy Pinot Grigio are a true invitation to the senses. Upon opening the bottle, a fresh scent of spring blossom and ripe pear escapes, immediately evoking the renewal of spring. This initial aroma is followed by subtle hints of citrus and green apple, resulting in a complex yet balanced nose. On the palate, the wine reveals a refined palette of white peach and Granny Smith apple, creating a rich yet refreshing experience. The finish is clean and persistent, with a mineral undertone typical of the gravelly soils of the Dolomites. Tolloy Pinot Grigio is not only a pleasure to drink but also a reflection of its origins, where every sip captures the essence of Alto Adige.
Perfection in Combination
The versatility of the Tolloy Pinot Grigio makes it an excellent choice for a variety of culinary occasions. As an ideal aperitif, this wine invites relaxation and conviviality and is a perfect accompaniment to light summer dishes. Think of crisp raw vegetable salads, pasta primavera, or a gently cooked salmon trout "en papillotte." With an alcohol content of 13%, this wine offers the perfect balance between vibrancy and depth, making it not only refreshing but also stimulating the taste buds. Therefore, the Tolloy Pinot Grigio is not just a wine, but an essential addition to any culinary occasion, designed to be shared and enjoyed in good company. Every glass promises an experience that both refreshes the spirit and strengthens the sense of community, true to the philosophy of Johann Tolloy's legacy.
