Unterebner goes well beyond the level of other excellent Pinot Grigios produced in Italy. It is a surprising wine for its complexity, even greater than one could ever expect!

vintage description
Above average spring temperatures resulted in early bud break. A prolonged period of high temperatures in May accelerated flowering. Thanks to targeted work in the vineyard and sporadic showers, the vines survived the summer months characterized by extreme heat without stress. The harvest began almost two weeks earlier than usual and, thanks to ideal weather conditions, the grapes had an exceptional level of quality. The red wines of the 2022 vintage are excellent, as they have reached an excellent level of ripeness and developed complex fruit notes. The flavor is full and has very marked aromas. White wines, on the other hand, are characterized by strong fruit notes, refinement and a very balanced acidity.
