With cheese

Asìno Our pick Asìno is savoury and piquant in its soft fresh and its aged versions. A dry Friulian Pinot Grigio, with pear or apple, almond and high acidity, cleans the salt and has the body to carry the piquancy.

Frequently asked about Marco Felluga Mongris Pinot Grigio

What does Mongris Pinot Grigio taste like?

Pear, white peach, almond and lemon blossom on the nose; ripe pear, lemon pith, green almond and a saline finish on the palate. Medium-bodied with high acidity.

How does Mongris differ from supermarket Pinot Grigio?

Mongris is sourced exclusively from Marco Felluga's Collio ponca-soil vineyards and vinified at controlled temperatures with lees ageing. The result has textural weight and saline minerality the volume style lacks.
