Kupelwieser, Pinot Grigio 2021 (Alto Adige):
Peter Zemmer’s low-yield approach in the vineyards results in a complex, dry white wine which reveals flavors of citrus and pear with mineral nuances, all showcased by a crisp and clean finish.

Tunella, RjGialla 2021 (Friuli Venezia-Giulia):
100% Ribolla Gialla: Tunella, based in Colli Orientali del Friuli, has always been focused on indigenous grapes. Their classic Ribolla Gialla “Rjgialla” is a bright straw yellow with fine green reflections. The nose is elegant and fruity, with notes of white flowers, plum, peach and crab apple. The palate is full, dry and fresh, with a pleasant flavour and an aromatic aftertaste.

Pratello, Lugana “Catulliano” 2021 (Lombardia):
100% Turbianas: A brilliant pale gold colour in the glass. Aromas include a complex mélange of citrus, apricot, green apple, herbs and acacia flower. The wine shows balanced acidity and a distinct rounded mouthfeel with notes of honey, tangerine and peach. A touch of wet stone/mineral lingers on the finish.

Casale Marchese, Frascati 2021 (Lazio):
A blend of Malvasia del Lazio, Trebbiano and Bellone grapes: Very pale straw colour. The fragrance is fresh with tropical fruits, acacia flowers and herbs. Melon, almond and citrus notes are found on the palate which lingers to a soft and elegant finish.

This is a wine that can stand up to firm fleshed fish from the grill such as swordfish or salmon.
