Description
Introducing the Ponte del Diavolo Pinot Grigio 2023, a remarkable white wine that captures the essence of Italy’s renowned Friuli-Venezia Giulia region. This exquisite vintage, crafted by notable collaborators including Liberty Wines, Alana McGettigan, and Andrea Morlin, is derived from the fruit cultivated on the region's well-drained soils of Grave del Friuli, resulting in a more structured and fuller-bodied wine compared to its Veronese counterparts.
The name Ponte del Diavolo, inspired by a legendary medieval bridge, embodies a tale of cunning and resourcefulness, much like the complexities found within this Pinot Grigio. With its vibrant character, this wine appeals to enthusiasts looking for something beyond the ordinary.
- Color: Pale straw with bright golden reflections.
- Nose: A vibrant bouquet with notes of crisp green apple, juicy pear, and delicate hints of white nectarine and fresh lemon zest, accentuated with subtle mineral undertones.
- Palate: Light-bodied and refreshing, it boasts vivid flavors of green apple and pear, harmonized with a mineral backbone and a clean, zesty finish that lingers.
- Finish: Crisp and bright, fading into gentle notes of almond bitterness and a soft pear sweetness.
Perfectly dry with an ABV of 12.5%, this wine is versatile, making it an ideal pairing for a variety of dishes. Here are some serving suggestions to elevate your experience:
- Serve chilled at a temperature of 8–10°C to emphasize its refreshing qualities.
- Present in a slender tulip-shaped glass to enhance aroma concentration while maintaining the wine's coolness.
- Pair with a grilled peach and burrata salad drizzled with basil-infused olive oil for a delightful sweet and creamy contrast.
- Enjoy alongside a cantaloupe and prosciutto platter, balancing sweet and salty flavors – a perfect complement.
- Garnish with a twist of lemon zest or a sprig of fresh fennel to echo the wine’s citrus and herbal notes.
- Craft a refreshing summer spritz by mixing with sparkling water, elderflower cordial, and thyme for an herbaceous twist.
- Ideal for alfresco brunches, serve with smoked salmon blinis topped with crème fraîche and dill for an elegant touch.
- Enhance casual gatherings by pairing with light seafood tapas, such as grilled shrimp skewers with a lime-chili dipping sauce.
- For a playful and unique presentation, freeze white grape halves on skewers, serving as natural "ice cubes" to chill the wine without dilution.

Storage advice
For storing white wine like Pinot Grigio 2023 in a 75cl bottle optimal conditions are:
- Temperature: Keep the wine between 42°F and 45°F (6°C to 7°C) to preserve its delicate aromas and freshness as it is a dry white wine with some residual sugar requiring cooler temperatures than many dry whites.
- Light Exposure: Store the bottle in a dark place away from direct sunlight and UV rays as light can degrade the wine and cause premature aging or spoilage.
- Sealing: Ensure the cork is intact and the bottle is properly sealed to prevent oxygen ingress that spoils the wine. For opened bottles reseal tightly using a proper wine stopper or vacuum seal to slow oxidation.
- Bottle Position: Store the bottle on its side so the wine stays in contact with the cork keeping it moist and preventing air from entering.
- Humidity: Maintain a relative humidity of 60-68% to prevent the cork from drying out while avoiding too much moisture that could promote mold growth.
- Additional Tips:
- Avoid temperature fluctuations which can cause expansion and contraction that damage the cork and wine quality.
- For unopened bottles a dedicated wine fridge or cool cellar with stable temperature and humidity is ideal.
- For opened bottles consume within 2-3 days if refrigerated and sealed properly because white wine loses freshness quickly after opening.
These practical storage parameters will best preserve the quality and shelf life of the white wine.
