The Pinot Grigio 2023 from Monte Tondo has a bright, pale straw-yellow colour with a sparkling sheen. On the nose the wine offers a refined mix of citrus fruit such as lemon and grapefruit, together with fresh notes of green apple and a subtle floral hint of white blossom. A gentle minerality elegantly rounds off the bouquet. The freshness comes through immediately on the first sip. The palate is dominated by citrus and apple, with a light hint of pear that gives the wine a juicy and inviting structure. The well-integrated acidity provides a lively, refreshing sensation, while the wine retains a supple, balanced mouthfeel. The mineral touch on the finish adds a refined depth and makes this wine perfect for warm days or light meals.
Ideal with light salads, shellfish and seafood such as prawns or mussels, or with creamy cheeses such as burrata.
Monte Tondo is a renowned family estate based in the heart of the Veneto region, surrounded by the picturesque vineyards of Soave and Valpolicella. The winery has a long tradition spanning three generations and is dedicated to making wines that reflect the unique terroir of the region.

This process concentrates the flavours and gives the wine its characteristic intensity and complexity. Monte Tondo’s vineyards are located on some of the best plots in the region, characterised by limestone-rich soils and an ideal microclimate. This terroir, combined with traditional craftsmanship and modern technology, results in wines that perfectly capture the essence of Valpolicella. The Amarone della Valpolicella is a highlight of their range, a wine that combines finesse, richness and elegance and is a testament to their commitment to quality.
