Technical Sheet and Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What does it mean to be hillside viticulture?
It means that the grapes grow on steep slopes at high altitude. This ensures optimal water drainage and balanced sun exposure with cool Alpine breezes, resulting in grapes with vibrant natural acidity and much more concentrated and complex flavors.
Can this wine be stored or should it be consumed young?
Although it shines for its youthful freshness in the 2023 vintage, Nals Margreid's Hill Pinot Grigio has enough structure and acidity to evolve positively in the bottle for the next 3 to 4 years, gaining mineral complexity and a creamy texture on the palate.
Is it suitable for every occasion?
Absolutely. Its exceptional balance between elegance, minerality, and ease in the glass makes it an extremely versatile label, ideal both for a refined aperitif on a terrace and for accompanying a formal multi-course dinner.
