TERLATO PINOT GRIGIO 750ML

Terlato Family Vineyards Friuli Pinot Grigio — Tasting Profile & Description

Origin & Style

A refined Italian Pinot Grigio from the Friuli‑Venezia Giulia region of northeastern Italy, crafted by Terlato Family Vineyards — a producer celebrated for elevating this variety into a more expressive and nuanced style. Friuli’s cool climate and mineral‑rich soils help produce wines with excellent acidity and structure.

Grape Composition

100% Pinot Grigio, a mutation of Pinot Noir that yields crisp white wines with broad aromatic scope and refreshing acidity.

Appearance

Light golden straw in color, inviting and luminous in the glass — a visual cue to its ripe fruit and mineral character.

Aroma (Nose)

Bright and fresh aromatics featuring white peach, pear, spring flowers, and citrus zest, alongside subtle mineral notes. These elements create an elegant, layered bouquet that is both fragrant and inviting.

Flavor (Palate)

The palate delivers ripe stone fruit (peach, pear) complemented by citrus notes and minerality. This expression is medium‑bodied and well‑balanced, with a mouth‑filling texture that’s more substantial than many lighter Pinot Grigios, yet remains refreshing.

Finish

Crisp and mineral‑driven, with lingering fruit and a clean, refreshing finish that makes it versatile with food.

Alcohol Content

Moderate — typically around 13% ABV, which supports good weight and complexity while preserving brightness.

Mouthfeel

Medium‑bodied with a silky, layered texture that balances fruit intensity and zesty acidity — offering both freshness and a satisfying mouthfeel.

Food Pairing

Ideal with seafood (oysters, ceviche, grilled shrimp), light pastas, salads, and soft cheeses. Its crisp acidity and vibrant fruit help cut through richer sauces and complement lighter fare beautifully.

Overall Profile

An elegant and expressive Italian Pinot Grigio that elevates the variety beyond simple, light styles — marrying bright stone fruit, citrus freshness, and mineral depth. It’s both refreshing and well‑structured, making it a versatile choice for aperitivo sipping or pairing with a wide range of dishes.
