Northern Italy’s premier white wine enclave delivers a striking, high-design evolution of Pinot Grigio that completely redefines the category. Sourced from the mineral-rich soils of Friuli, the 2024 Aqua di Venus breaks away from simple, mass-market expressions to offer a deeply aromatic, complex sensory profile. The nose opens with an elegant, multi-layered display of white claytonia blossoms, crunchy green pear, and wild rosemary, underscored by a sharp streak of flinty minerality. On the palate, it shifts beautifully between a slick, near-waxy texture and a vibrant, mouthwatering acidity. Clean flavors of golden apple flesh and grapefruit pith take hold, driving through to a long, chalky finish marked by an intriguing hint of white pepper and saline minerality.
