It is rare that we offer a Pinot Grigio at this price point but I tasted this wine last night and it is absolutely perfect for the summer months and has the added depth and length seldom seen in such a wine. The 2021 St Michael Eppan Pinot Grigio is the perfect summer white, all peaches and apricots, alive and fresh on the palate with a fresh zesty finish. The perfect summer crowd please and dare I might say absolutely perfect for entertaining. St Michael Eppan makes some of the finest white wine in all of Italy. From Alto Adige in the far North of Italy, again famous for the great white wines. St. Michael Eppan Winery is named after the village in which it is located. Founded in 1909, Gambero Rosso named St. Michael-Eppan as the best Italian winery of the year and its long-time winemaker Hans Terzer as one of the ten best winemakers in the world. The enjoyment of which is found both in its creamy softness and its lively acidity.

Parker makes a point “I found many delicious wines in this lineup from St. Michael Eppan. The house is best known for their top of the line Sanct-Valentin wines that emphasize textural softness. As good as those wines can be, the sweet spot at St. Michael lies just below.” This wine offers tremendous value, perfect again for summer with excellent press,  Pinot Grigio does not get better at the price.
