This 2013 Nals Margreid Punggl Pinot Grigio is what Pinot Grigio should taste like. As Huon Hooke said this 'has far more depth, concentration and extract than possibly any other Grigio I can recall'.
Hailing from Alto Adige, in far northern Italy near the Austrian border, this wine comes off an 80yr old vineyard on a small hill (Punggl means hill in the local South Tyrol dialect). Matured for 7 months in large oak, it is textured, full and bloody delicious - about as far from the average boring Grigio as you can get!
Plenty of others like this wine too, as it scored 2 glasses from Italy's influential Gambero Rosso publication, and 93 points from James Suckling who said that it had 'lots of flavour and freshness' and is 'one of the best Pinot Grigios out there'.
In other words, this is the best Pinot Grigio you can get.
