Terra Alpina Vigneti delle Dolomiti Pinot Grigio
This wine shows a bright straw-yellow color. The aromas are inviting with notes of wildflowers, melons, orchard fruits (pear, white peach), with a touch of spice and mineral lift. It exhibits flavors of pear, citrus, florality, spices, and stoney earthiness. The Terra Alpina brand is a project by Alois Lageder that collaborates with growers in the Dolomite region to produce wines expressing the alpine–Mediterranean interplay of that terrain. Terra Alpina’s identity is about capturing the contrast between rough Alpine climate and warm Mediterranean sun in the foothills of the Dolomites.
