Gentle aromas of creamy pears, Fuji apples, acacia and millefiore honey entice the senses. The rounded palate surprises with a lively acidity, crisp green apples, roasted almonds and sea salt flavors, then with mouth-watering acidity and a gripping finish. This Pinot Grigio offers a delightful balance of elegance and substance, a wine that is great for today, but this could be an age-worthy wine. — Jeff Porter

Attractive aromas of nectarines and pears with spices, dried flowers, chalk and crushed rocks. Medium-bodied, sleek and juicy, with the textural feeling of ripe stone fruit. Very approachable and seductive. Creamy finish. Drink now. Screw cap.

Livio Felluga’s 2022 Pinot Grigio is a complex and classy example of this underrated varietal. It is nicely ripe and precise in this vintage, offering up a complex bouquet of apple, dried flowers, delicate notes of hazelnut, a fine base of soil and a nice touch of Chablis-like straw in the upper register. On the palate the wine is a bit more reductive than the lovely Friulano when first poured, so decanting for fifteen or twenty minutes before serving is an absolute essential for this wine right now. However, with some aeration to allow the reductive aspects to blow off, the wine blossoms beautifully to deliver a full-bodied format that shows lovely depth of fruit and soil signature (particularly for Pinot Grigio!), bright acids, lovely focus and grip and a long, complex and beautifully balanced finish. This is first class Pinot Grigio, just make sure you decant it first!

The 2022 Pinot Grigio is dramatically floral with a sweet spice and mint dusting, giving way to freshly sliced peaches. This flows across the palate with silky textures and a pure blend of ripe peach complemented by sour citrus. It tapers off with admirable length yet clean, leaving a cheek-puckering tinge of candied lemon as the mouth is left watering for more. - Eric Guido
