In the glass
Aroma: pear, white peach, almond, white blossom
Palate: ripe pear, lemon pith, green almond, saline finish
The reference dry-style Collio Pinot Grigio, vinified in stainless steel since 1965. Pear and almond aromatics over a saline finish, the textbook style for serious Italian Pinot Grigio.
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
The textbook serious-Pinot-Grigio reference, vinified at the estate since 1965 in the same stainless-steel programme as Friulano. Schiopetto's Pinot Grigio anchored Italy's reputation for the variety before the volume-PG era began.

Frequently asked about Schiopetto Pinot Grigio
What does Schiopetto Pinot Grigio taste like?
Pear, white peach, almond and white blossom on the nose; ripe pear, lemon pith, green almond and a saline finish on the palate. Medium-bodied with high acidity and a long finish.
How does this differ from supermarket Pinot Grigio?
Schiopetto's Pinot Grigio comes from low-yielding Collio ponca-soil vineyards and is vinified at controlled temperatures with extended lees contact. The result has the textural weight and saline minerality the volume style lacks.
When should I drink Schiopetto Pinot Grigio?
Drink between 1 and 6 years from vintage. The wine peaks at year 2 to 4; almond aromatics deepen with bottle age.
