"A classic expression, showing fresh pear, lemon pith, green tea and oatmeal nuances, leading to a finely flowing palate that's juicy and vibrant. Elegantly structured by crisp acidity, finishing lingering and mouth-watering. At its best: now to 2025" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Jun 2023

Pale straw in colour in the glass. Fresh floral and fruit aromas on the nose. Semi-dry, with good body and structure. A long persistent finish.

Crafted from carefully selected hand-harvested Pinot Grigio grapes from hillside vines. Aged in stainless steel tanks in order to ensure maximum fruit retention and palate freshness. A lovely bouquet of ripe pear and spring flowers marries perfectly with a keen-edged citrus fruit vibrancy. Far classier than the average 'PG' on the market offering excellent depth of flavour allied to a telling crisp finale. This organic white wine is great with antipasti, grilled fish and white meat dishes.

Mont’Albano was green before it was in fashion. For them it was, and continues to be, a life choice, a way of looking not only at the vineyards but at the world around us.

Founded in 1985 in the heart of the Friuli Venezia Giulia region, as a result of the intuition of Mauro Braidot who, unlike the majority of the producers of the time, converted his five hectares of vineyard to organic production. Certification followed in 1990, a first for the region. Since that time, the company has extended its reach by working with a number of other organic growers in other regions, buying their grapes, provided they follow the strict viticultural parameters that the organic rules and Mont'Albano requires. The Veneto, Sicily and Abruzzo are key regions in this development. Now, as part of the Sartori group of wine companies their profile has been raised still further. The flagship wines remain the prestigious Friuli wines that are produced from the fruit of their own vines. For Mont'Albano, organic viticulture is not a return to the past, it is innovation that combines today’s technology with the experience of the winegrower who wants to preserve and not exploit the land, using only natural, not chemical, products. The health of the wine in the glass is guaranteed by means of complete traceability throughout the supply chain and the absence of any chemical residues. Cultivating the land with respect, working in harmony with nature and safeguarding the natural environment are key elements of the Mont'Albano organic philosophy. Not accepting compromises to quality is paramount.

Food Pairing: This organic white wine is great with antipasti, grilled fish and white meat dishes.
