Staff Pick Notes

Italy doesn't make many great Pinot Noir wines, but it does make some very good ones, and relative to their French neighbors, Pinots of really good value. The Muri-Gries estate was established in the mid 19th century after Benedictine monks moved from Muri in Switzerland to an Augustinian monastery in Gries Sud Tirol. The grapes for this wine come from a handfull of vineyards planted at high elevations with southeasterly exposures. This isn't a wine to fuss over or age for years. Its a wine for the table, tonight. Fresh acidity, easy tannins, and just-ripe fruit make for a really well balanced wine that can pair with anything, yet demands nothing. Sometimes the complexity of Burgundy won't due for a Tuesday dinner. Thankfully, the Italian monks have come to our rescue.

Trentino-Alto Adige

Crossing the historic boundary between Italy and Austria, Trentino-Alto-Adige is in fact comprised of two autonomous regions (Trentino and Alto-Adige). The swath of land was returned to Italy after World War I, and the two regions have been lumped together in the winemaking world ever since. Alto-Adige, the northernmost half of the region, retains great pride in its Germanic heritage, evidenced by the dual language bottle labels appearing in the region. The region is most famous for its...

Alto Adige

Comprising the northern half of the oft-conjoined Trentino/Alto-Adige region of Northern Italy, Alto-Adige is in fact its own entity with its own distinct style of winemaking. Situated on the historic boundary between Italy and Austria, the two autonomous regions were returned to Italy after World War I (hence why they are often lumped together). Alto-Adige retains great pride in its Germanic heritage, evidenced by the dual language bottle labels appearing in the region. Alto-Adige is most...
