Banfi San Angelo Pinot Grigio 2024

From Banfi, the San Angelo Pinot Grigio 2024 is a Tuscany white wine made from estate vineyards in the southern part of Montalcino. The vineyards are described as having yellowish-brown clay topsoil with a slightly calcareous character, helping set the scene for a bright, fresh style.

Winemaking begins with a selective grape harvest, followed by temperature-controlled fermentation of the free-run juice at 59–64˚F. The wine is then stored at a low temperature, retaining a small, natural effervescence, before being bottled a few months after harvest and before the year ends. In the glass, it shows a white-gold colour with a fresh bouquet of pear, peach, anise and honey. The palate is fruity and crisp, with a notably refreshing finish.

Serve as an aperitif or alongside lighter dishes such as grilled vegetables and pasta primavera, as well as a range of seafood. It is also suggested with Pasta with Shrimp & Zucchini.
