Staff Pick Notes

Borghi Ad Est focuses on the production of Pinot Grigio. Friuli is now synonymous with high-quality wine . This wine is savory and delicate. The vineyards benefit from the vicinity of the sea and the sea's breeze refreshing the air in the summer. In winter, the Julian Alps protect them from the harsh winter. The perfect southern sunny exposure helps to create the right ripeness in the grapes. The result is a wine with aromas of tropical fruit and flavors of lemon and passion fruit. The minerality is well balanced with the acidity. A long finish completes the experience. This Pinot Grigio is excellent and affordable at the same time!
