Since 2002, we’ve built a great partnership with Alessandro Gallici, so that every year he makes us an exciting range of wines. This is a special Pinot Grigio from Friuli Grave, the best terroir for exquisite, fresh whites. Crisp, citrusy, elegant.

When you ask Alessandro Gallici if he comes from a family of winemakers, he laughs gently at the notion – no, his father was a truck driver. However, he was born in Friuli and his family had a little bit of land, a few rows of vines that had been theirs for generations. They vinified the fruit in a shed just for their own consumption. All this fascinated Alessandro as he was growing up, and winemaking became his chosen career. For a number of years he’s been president of an important local winery, but in 2010 he started up on his own. Made with grapes selected from top areas – Colli Orientali and Grave – this wine delivers delicate pear fruit and crisp minerally ‘zing’. Enjoy solo or match with salads, mushroom ravioli or creamy linguine.
