Marco Felluga's classical Collio Pinot Grigio with pear and almond aromatics. The estate's volume flagship since the 1950s, vinified in stainless steel for clean fruit-forward freshness.

What it pairs with

  • Vitello tonnato
    Pear and almond aromatics handle the tuna-mayonnaise sauce; saline finish refreshes between bites.
  • Sardines in saor
    Venetian sweet-sour sardines find a foil in the wine's high acidity; almond aromatics echo the dish's pine nuts.
  • Risotto with shellfish
    Saline minerality lifts the seafood's sweetness; medium body holds the Carnaroli starch.

History

Marco Felluga founded the estate at Gradisca d'Isonzo in 1956 after the family migrated from Istria post-war. Mongris has been the volume Pinot Grigio flagship since the founding years.

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.

When should I drink Mongris?

Drink between 1 and 5 years from vintage. The wine peaks at year 2 to 3; pear aromatics fade with extended ageing.
